    "We are surrounded by genius. Imagine designing spring..." Those two sentences in the video capture, for me, an experience of meaning and depth I can't put into words, but which is expressed throughout this video. Without doubt, one of the best videos I've ever seen!

    I am lucky to have had a cottage in the mountains for 22 years, and every Spring I am amazed by the life that one doesn't see in the city. Everything is fighting to live. From blades of grass to mature oaks, from insects I never knew existed to bumble bees busily doing their thing, flowers blooming, trilliums emerging from under dead leaves, the stream rolling with new life, bats flittering about, flocks of geese coming back North for the summer, the pond teeming with tadpoles and newts and minnows, countless plants budding with new growth, the sounds of crickets and toads and birds, the snow melting and the land getting greener every day...it is a wonderful life cycle that happens every year and it's perpetually fascinating. This video puts things in perspective. Thank you.

    Everything in this world in this cosmos is organized, Nature knows how to organize itself it thinks of ways not the same way how we think but far far beyond us. It is so full of wisdom. As Janine said "We are surrounded by genius."

    You know what would be nice? A video of this type, a bit more in details, that last at least an hour. Long enough to fill yourself, to immerse yoursefl of positive thoughts and critical thinking. To the point where when you finish watching, you have that delay, distance from yourself, you analyse your situation, sit on your plastic chair watching your screen or maybe projector or tv and eating chocolat cookiers or chips... you know, start to see and realise how deep all of this is. I love those short videos, but they are too short to really immerse someone into this way of thinking. Anyhow, this is awesome and keep up the nice work.

      I would research the topic of "biomimicry". I bet someone is putting something together like that...unfortunately, videos like that are expensive to make and hard to get people to find enough time to watch them. Check out a documentary called "I Am" though.

    Wonderful! Sometimes I get the feeling that we are the only species with an ego which separates us from the rest of existence. Our mind are overly stimulated since a very early age, we store tons of useless information in our brain which has trillions of neurons but we only use a small percentage of them. In this way we loose our capacity to feel! Civilization is an insult to Mother Nature to which we belong! We need to rewild ourselves and liberate ourselves from the cage we've built which allows us to live comfortably numb. We are supposed to feel not overthink things. We have a lot of gifts within us that can only surface when we are fully awaken and if it takes a global pandemic to get it, so be it! We are a collective consciousness, it's time to wake up! 😘💖🤗

    I liked your insight at the beginning of the video, you are referring to the best designer who ever existed. Us humans truly underestimate the power of a creator God. Yet we acknowledge the design to it all. They say it took billions of years for this to happen, but Look what we’ve accomplished in 30 years! God has allowed us to record and stream and communicate on the internet. Ok 2 billion years from now, how long will they say it took for us to make cel phones. Hahah without electricity, our phones are a shiny paper weight. Think about it pray today now. The one thing we won’t figure out as humans is to be born again

      Right, she is asking to imagine trying to be responsible for all of it like our corporations and governments try to do. It would be impossible if you had to try to make spring happen.

    "We're not the first ones to-" Yes we are. Do not confuse programming with intention: nature doesn't design anything, but instead operates according to a pre-planned designed. Ergo, if a human being builds a robot and that robot (by its programming) constructs 'x' thing, it is the human's accomplishment. Now, if by "we aren't the first" she means that YHWH is the Undesigned-Designer, then I'd agree with that.

    • @SustainableHuman

      We do not regulate our own heartbeat or our own lungs, those are regulated through the autonomic nervous system, the nervous system that self regulates. But this doesn't stop us from being able to regulate other aspects of our experience, because we have consciousness that drives the other inputs towards creativity and learning. Nature is the same. There are some functions that are regulated as patterns stored in DNA and others that are adjusting to changes in the environment and adapting towards survival of the species.
      Consciousness allows for the individual being to determine unique ways of experiencing the world, and therefore learning, which ultimately culminates in the evolution of those preprogrammed patterns in the DNA.
      One has to understand things more dynamically to understand complicated living systems rather than using a right and wrong lens to view it through.

      @@SustainableHuman My point is that human beings have something something that other creatures don't: that something is the immaterial Self. While animals can learn, they can't self-teach because they can't seek out the Truth to follow him. A fundamental example of this is how they have remained in the same social structures, hardline, virtually forever, while human beings gone through various social structures in an attempt to establish the right one.
      The two are not the same.

      Amanda Payton 😖 Are you aware that wasps have been around much longer than humans? That makes them very successful in surviving attempts to remove them. Likewise, bees have prospered despite predation by wasps. Only with the appearance of humans have some species been demoted to pests and thus subjected to attempts to exterminate them. But most of them have survived, unlike non pests such as the dodo or the great auk. Human interference in nature is by far the worst cause of environmental and species degradation , which is continuing apace. Now who is the real pest on planet Earth ?
