Thanks for the comments, katey. I think this is a perfectly fine venue for
statements of personal philosophy. Why should there even be a permaculture--
unless it is in line with our own personal philosophies. It is a locus from
which
we can identify one another and see our own ideas in the context of similar(
but not identical) ideas.

Regarding the idea of monotheism, I think it is apparent to all who actually
look at the universe that it is one, in the sense of all being
interconnected.
But the notion that it's all under the direction of one organizer strikes me,
frankly, as being a bit ludicrous. Isn't it apparent to all that the world is
a product of warring factions, in the context of a chaotic grid without
rules? There are broken pieces lying around everywhere. A deity with the
least
sense of tidiness would have done a much neater job of things.

I never could figure that out. But obviously there exists a body of strongly
rule-bound people who will fight you over the question of a single Deity (and
which of the many in current use it actually is). It is always referred to as
a "He". And being an authority figure, "He" has strict rules that must be
obeyed.

Obviously this philosophy doesn't relate to toilet training. In that event,
the deity would be referred to as "She".

Thanks for helping to start the ball rolling.

Michael
