You know I hate it when something comes up that shows how closed minded I am....some things I don't even want to know about...

Currently this is one I don't even want to be remotely aware of.

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Genesis 2:17

How does this work into our thoughts about the "natural life cycle" of the planet and its organic inhabitants and the Garden?

Did they not have a life cycle?

Also...great post cyperpi. You've got me thinking.

An old friend used to say, "poop you was, poop you is and poop you is to be."

Not too many gardens live without light.

Global warming is like a bowel system backed up. The fish tank in Nemo had it correct: "Don't you realize we are swimming in our own ..." Either eat less or crank up the water cycle.

Funny how topics converge in myriad ways...if energy is neither created nor destroyed, merely changed, then how would that impact on an energy being (presuming that is what angels [messengers] and demons / ghosts are)? Do energy beings require sustenance in order to "do" things, or are they merely phantoms of neutrinos or other sub-atomic particles that cannot interact at all in the material world? (*Surely one can see the repercussions of what I am getting at, that this truly transcends the mere subject of "poop"). If energy must be converted in order to "do" something, and so many religious traditions hold that angels or equivalent benevolent energy beings "often" interact with humans, and some traditions even hold that malevolent energy beings like demons and ghosts likewise interact with "living" material beings such as ourselves, then if energy must convert there should be a byproduct of the conversion process. Not that I'm looking to fertilize my garden with it...

Strange how mushroom gardens don't really require sunlight...but do require copious amounts of doo doo.

I always got a kick outta that name...and cracked many a sophomoric joke at that poor bear's expense. Shame on me...

Every ecosystem I know of has both animal and plant life...if we wouldn't expel waste..urination, defacation, perspiration, respiration...all expel waste from our bodies...do we think we didn't need oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide either?

Is it not just our prudish nature that has such a worry about these bodily functions? Don't nomads pick up and roll camel dung for use in the fire later? Waste not want not.

This is in line with my thinking that things are as G-d intended, so that Adam and Eve would have been created with absorption and elimination equipment...in other words, there's nothing "unclean" so to speak (or perhaps "sinful" or "fallen") about the process, it is how G-d created material creatures to convert substance to energy and eliminate the harmful byproducts. Byproducts that in turn are useful and beneficial to other organisms and perform other roles and "dooties" within the whole web of life / intergalactic-interconnection / material existence-expression thing. Just some rambling considerations...

I think we often take today's notions and mores and try to apply them to biblical times...it don't fit so well. I say in the allegorical garden, we metaphorically organically fertilized...

I think this is true on many levels, not just in applying modern standards to "Biblical" times. Modern sanitation methods and practices were developed for a reason...health. It is easy to hold a romantic notion that somehow things were so much better when people pooped where they wanted to...*not*. Could you imagine a romantic gondola ride on a canal in Venice Italy...if you realized that canal is the sewer for the city (as I hear it actually is, notice no one goes swimming there?). Or walking along an intimate and narrow European street in a very old city, and having someone dump their chamber pot on you (accidentally, of course...)? Human effluent has been the source of scourges large and small that have threatened humanity through the centuries. Is disease natural? I suppose it is. Is it normal? I suppose it depends who you ask. Is the suffering disease causes acceptable because it is natural and normal? I hesitate to believe a person suffering would think so. Is it correct for humans to circumvent natural processes that create suffering? "You" tell me...

Reminds me of the frog that got eaten by the eagle...the eagle was some distance from home, and there was time for the frog to work his way to the back of the cabin, peek out and say; "ummm, about how high are we?"

The eagle looks around..."oh, about three or four thousand feet."

"You wouldn't be sh!ttin' me now, would ya?"

How do you tell the difference between a rich girl and a poor girl?


































The rich girl has a canopy over her bed...




















The poor girl has a can o' pee under her bed.

Now I believe that there is metaphor in everything... a deeper understanding of life can be had by investigating it...

So...urination, respiration, defication, perspiration...

On one level, one may say that what we need we take into our bodies and what we don't need passes through.

That this occurs whether it is what we eat, what we read, what we see, or what we learn.

We may learn in time to quit ingesting things by any source that causes turmoil to the system or is useless.

But isn't it in reality that everything we ingest eventually is used up, spent, converted and eliminated? So even if in the previous example we think that what leaves our system is stuff that is useless to us, stuff we don't need....in truth some of it was valuable, required and our system has simply decided it is time to move on and no longer has a need...

Does some pass through before it is entirely digested, understood, utilized?

One person's trash anothers treasure...does that not apply to thought as well as physical manifestations?

Gonna need boots if this thread gets any deeper.

I think you just have to make doo with whatever is available.
