All the aerial photographs of what's happening with the glaciers and the polar ice caps melting, that's an extension of our senses. These military and satellite photographs of planet Earth, it's like a body scan, but not of your own body, but of the planet Earth. And what's happening to the rainforest. The rainforest in the 1930s, the 1940s, the 1950s, the 1960s, and now.

And you see what's happening to the rainforest. If that were happening to your lungs, You'd be running to the hospital and asking for a cure. There's no way to really repair lungs. You might get a lung transplant, but it'd be a very rare thing. So here we have the Amazon and the Congo, and we're losing the lungs of planet Earth. So this is all part of the mindfulness practice.

Once we know this, we can't turn away from it. And from that point of view, just the last thing I'll say on this, Because it blows my mind so much from an evolutionary point of view. So we're this like tiny little blue dot going around an insignificant sun in some completely like infinitesimally small area of the Milky Way galaxy.

And that sun and the planets all they know just adhered from other sun's material that from supernova and things like that in the formative years of the universe.

and so the sun and the planets evolved together and we happen to be at this just right goldilocks distance it's called not too hot not too cold venus is way too hot more is way too cold and here we have this flourishing of life and the way it happened is first the thermal vents under the ocean where like heat is energy so somehow chemicals figured out how to reproduce themselves and

and put membranes around themselves and become like organisms. And then they learned how that you don't get much energy from thermal vents and stuff like that. It's driving the metabolism on kind of chemistry. But if, but at a certain point somehow they managed to actually create receptors for sunlight.

And now those receptors, like, have turned the entire planet green and that green is chlorophyll the molecule chlorophyll, which is what's called a porphyrin ring structure. If anybody remembers their basic chemistry, it's for porphyrin rings and the porphyrin rings hold together. And.

the case of chlorophyll a magnesium atom at the center of it so magnesium atom comes out of stars exploding previously before our sun and southern so everywhere you look outside and green that's the universe allowing planet earth to capture energy from solar energy through this chlorophyll now if you cut yourself You bleed red, not green.
