Love is an integrated concept with several subconscious and conscious behaviors and emotions working together. First, we should all love one another in ways that help one another be all they can become or help one another achieve their aspirations on planet Earth. Love is something that everyone should have in their hearts for fellow human miracles of God and nature. When you have love in your heart, I believe you fall into romantic love quicker, and there may even be an element of love at first sight. I have learned through time that love is more than finding a match on a traditional dating service. It is much more. Love and finding romantic love is the divine integration of God’s love and the beauty and miraculousness of nature. Love is fantastic, whether romantic or genuine love for another. I believe being sexual when we find romantic love is a sacred and beautiful experience that will contribute significantly to transforming planet Earth. True love is a more extensive world-changing concept, while romantic love is more intensive, and we need both desperately. Another way to look at it is that the extensive world-changing concept is a macro broad concept. At the same time, romantic love is a more micro concept between 2 human miracles of God and nature. Being beautiful inside or out is a natural thing, and it is very beneficial to our planet. I have noticed in my life that seeing someone’s display of beauty or sexuality is a very inspiring and excellent mood-enhancing experience. When I feel lonely, down, or depressed, noticing another human miracle looking great, smiling, or being happy inspires me to want to look and feel great. I also get a hefty dose of optimism that the beauty of love is way too miraculous to exist just by chance. Likewise, human attractiveness is an exciting and unique experience for every miracle. I believe our inner and outer beauty is a beneficial life-enhancing concept that we ought to display whenever we choose to enhance the beauty of the world around us. It alters our landscapes when people smile at one another, communicate with one another, help another, or even display inner or outer beauty to someone else. Therefore, maybe a significant answer or contributor to solving the world’s problems is simply about being yourself more naturally, expressing your love for others, or even helping others get through the day by them noticing your natural beauty inside or out. Imagine the optimism if we could have the natural beauty of nature in all its forms, from individuals to beautiful landscapes, almost everywhere we turn. Isn’t that what we should all aspire to rather than trying to out-compete one another and, consequently, create war-like landscapes? Sex without love, on the other hand, is like survival sex, where people crave love but find a little at a time through sex only. I believe it fills people’s needs in the short term, but often it is never enough. The small amounts of love chemicals that you get from just sex aren’t enough to sustain you for long periods; thus, individuals may require more and more sexual experiences without ever striving to find love. It is probably a lonely and sad experience to be with someone different all the time. I wonder if this behavior adds selfishness and greed in our society, thus overall detrimentally impacting our planet if too many people are out just for sex. That does not mean we should not be flirtatious and sexy while living on our planet as long as we keep things in context that love is the context and romantic love is the goal everyone wants to strive for. Imagine a world where we strive for the attainment of genuine love and romantic love all over the world at the same time.

A Clements superorganism human family.
We should all strive to be a Clements super-organism family where we all love, care, and help one another survive while living with nature and human creation. It does not make sense to me that we waste so much time, effort, resources, and energy trying to out-compete, get an edge on, over-top, kill, argue, and war one another. To me, so many things are of higher relative importance for our survival here on planet Earth rather than destroying one another, society, and the environment. Without a doubt, it would be better if we all ceased all the ultra-competition, all war behavior, all malicious litigation, all crime, and all detrimental impacting behaviors on our Earth kin and our home (our natural environment on planet Earth). The beneficial impact of ending all these destructive behaviors on planet Earth would be astronomical in terms of well-defined value and an upward spiral of multiplying benefits into the future. We must start now. We have no choice.
Detrimental reactive planning of our current system of laws and politics.
Species adapt to their environment, and we humans are no different. When it comes to ultra-competition, those who always out-compete others will use the current system of laws to destroy people. Many will do whatever they must to out-compete another person, depending on the value or opportunity cost of losing. It is a sad situation when those who are so ultra-competitive that people will competitively exclude people from life by creating scenarios to make another look bad perceptively. The way it works, however, is not one thing or the other; it is a reactive planning of the law and politics that kills people and makes them irrelevant while living on this planet. All it takes is a rumor to get the ball rolling, and reactive planned scenarios are created to either sink a person or make a person depending on which way politics wants it to go. We are starting to create court cases out of people’s individual lives so those who stay on top can stay on top while others live subservient, often enslaved lives. We see it every day, but no one says anything about it. The media are being used as a competitive exclusion tool as well. We drag people around through the mud so the driver can stay in control. When those in control stay in control with these competitive exclusionary techniques, their politics and worldview stay on top because other people’s opinions, politics, and world view never see the light of day or get taken by the elite powers that are and are called their own. I learned long ago that it is up with the good and down with the bad. In other words, everything you have to offer will either help advance those in power and control over you or hurt you, depending on whether the idea is a useful money-maker or policy idea that may make the world a better place. If it is found to be not such a good idea, the stuff rolls downhill back to you, and you get blamed for all the bad stuff. This behavior likely occurs in all large organizations under continual scrutiny or with so much greed that they will not let anyone have a good idea over them. All large bubbles or organizations function like this in a hierarchical structure where those in control at the top dictate what happens to human beings. They are accepted, included, and embraced if they have much to offer. If not, they are shunned, fired, outcasted, and thrown to the wolves. Either way, the positive and beneficial things one has to offer society and our planet get used in one way or the other without the individual knowing about it. This happens when all the power and authority goes to those great at judging others, making others look bad, dominating, commanding, controlling, and fooling others. In our new cloud world of facts floating around space and time, bits and pieces of information can be used in whatever way the powers want them to be organized. Facts are information out of context. The context is whatever the powers that be need them to be, and a story ends up taking the form that advances the powerful politics of the elite in control. Imagine a tornado full of debris; each piece represents a piece of information or “fact” out of context with everything else. The only things determining the shape of the funnel cloud are the new debris added to the cloud over time. It also depends on which wind and rain patterns influence such a tornado. In other words, in our perception world, where many care more about acting instead of being real, genuine people, facts are continually created as continual questions are generated perpetually, causing big storms to never end. People’s lives are wasted, and only those with power and control benefit from the chaos formed. After the tornado goes through an area, new structures are built from destroyed ones, and those that profit immensely from the new structures are the only ones that benefit. The same is true of every court case, whether civil or criminal. The attorney brief or argument can only be so long and contain only a certain number of so-called facts regardless of the totality of all the circumstances, interactivity, complexity, and chaos in an individual’s life and beyond. It is a farce. It is an out-of-context, controlled, reactionary complexity creation thing whereby judging occurs based on whatever they want to assemble or build. Does each case depend on the political weight behind it? I am sad for all the people in this world who have been impacted by it and will work tirelessly to transition those who would like another ecological niche role where their talent, value, energy, and benefit creation can be fully utilized to help our planet recover from illness, societal destruction, and environmental degradation. I favor holistic planning for a sustainable, striving planet Earth instead of reactionary complexity in a system built on laws and politics. Let our foundation be the things that bring us together and allow us to work together. Then, we can figure out what we need to learn more about in a more rational, knowledge-based society instead of an out-of-context law and politics society. Adapting through continual learning is a better context for the future.
Transitioning of people who behave the opposite of the way they should
I consider every person worthy of a transformation because it is the right thing to do. We need absolutely everyone working together to solve the problems on planet Earth, even though many of them were created by commanders and controllers in the first place. It appears that those who behave in absolutely opposite ways from loving, caring, compassionate, and forgiving behavior should be prioritized regarding needing help to transform themselves. Many people spend most of their time trying to conquer people who need help, knowledge, assistance, and love. Sadly, many have read the essential books backward and may have failed to understand how God wanted us to behave. Instead of loving and caring about people, they have chosen to destroy their environment, torture, create subservient people, enslave, imprison, interrogate, bankrupt, create drug dependency, create ill people, create people with cancer, create crime, impoverish, watch people suffer, fire people, watch people commit suicide, kill people, and watch people become homeless or mentally ill. It is a strange world mainly because the command and control authority figures do not know what they do. Nor do they care at this time. It would be great for them to recognize that they are behaving this way to begin their transition to a more holistic, sustainable, striving planet Earth. However, they are very complacent with their top-down command and control as their “god” regardless of the detrimental impacts they have on other people who have more genuine love, care, and compassion in their hearts, at least until many are pushed way beyond their survival zones and enter a downward spiral feedback loop. These command and control structures and functions create their problems to be the “heroes” and make it look like they are solving problems. Many play organizational games. However, they are doing nothing more than adding to the problems by pushing people into more extreme survival situations. It is sort of like many functions where controversy is created so that specific authority command and control or law structures get the credit for attempting to “fix” problems and controversy created by the consequences of an out-of-control ultra-capitalist market-based anthropocentric functioning system where command and control have its purpose of keeping all of the creative people in line so that the commanders, rulers, executives, and the elite get all they need and want. The rest of us are controlled and enslaved by the powers that be. Isn’t that what employment is all about? Isn’t it how all is taken from the creative people who matter less and given to the people who consider themselves as more important because of the importance given to them by a highly anthropocentric way things are the world? These people who think themselves matter more have realized that the way to get ahead is to do more damage to people, society, and Earth itself. They have learned that all they need to do is have the ability to command authoritative respect, deal with created reactionary complexity, be able to deal with law, policy, and procedure, and have the ability to deal with created controversy, which is often created by those at the top in the first place. We must help these people recognize the need to transition into a more helping, caring, compassionate functioning where creative and hard-working people are a priority instead of a line of fall guys that you can fire when looking for someone to blame for a poorly planned organization in the first place. We must stop the advancement of extreme capitalist market-based economy “experts” because they are effectively detrimentally impacting our planet, our society, communities, and individuals. Notice I did not say get rid of them. They need to be transitioned to a different context where everything is connected to everything else, like nature. However, many have done horrific things and need to spend some time in hospitals and schools and must learn much more about those things that matter more and closer to reality. I hope it will not take very long as we need them in a different context to help transform planet Earth so that things should be sustainable, striving for planet Earth. We must forgive.
Role of Religion and spirituality in transforming to a sustainable striving planet Earth
I believe all churches and houses of worship, regardless of denomination or variant of other religions, should work together on positive, most beneficial messages from God. Therefore, I do not believe in continuing to create separate segmented religions. On the other hand, we must all work together towards transitioning our planet Earth to a more sustainable planet Earth. I believe we all should be able to attend any house of God (maybe “home” sounds better because it includes the love from people who are part of God and the church). Therefore, I recommend that those more knowledgeable about religion and differences begin to focus on similarities that all faiths have while striving to understand the differences so we can spend more time learning about them. Once we become more knowledgeable about what causes divisiveness and differences, maybe we can overcome them and create an Earth church, removing the extreme anthropocentric philosophy while integrating nature concepts and knowledge. Spiritual ecology should also be a part of every church because it incorporates concepts about nature, which I believe is divine. Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to any church, whether it be the closest (least environmentally impacting and more integral community forming) or any other church we would like to attend anywhere on Earth, so we can all feel more comfortable knowing that our extended families are everyone on Earth? Likewise, there is a comfort in knowing that any house of God will be lovingly similar to every other church on Earth.
Imagine the comfort, joy, love, and hope associated with that concept. It is a more unifying concept than exists today. Doesn’t it also get rid of the division, divisiveness, complexity, and confusion as well? It also gets us moving towards a sustainable striving planet Earth by working together in a more unified functioning that brings our hearts and minds together towards a more suitable purpose and functioning. Freedom of religion really should be about knowledge transference and education. Understandably, each individual may believe something different, and it is healthy to worship or pray in their own way. These differences that people may believe ought to be discussed, and quite possibly, the churches may continually learn and adapt through time as we know more. Every individual can contribute to learning about God and Nature together. If we integrate this continual learning concept, the church will not get stagnant with solely out-of-context and often outdated philosophy, especially when the context may have been when the Romans were fighting the Israelites. Much suffering was occurring during that period. The temporal notion of changing times is an important one, and the way I look at it, we will begin continuously making the world a better place all the time in a continually improving way. The less we focus on the negative, the less chance that religion will contribute to extreme perspectives that may harm our society and planet directly or indirectly. Any spirituality should be an entirely positive impacting experience. We must focus and learn more about these positive, broader context things God tried to communicate with us and know as much about nature and knowledge of everything. We will be better off if we transform into a continual improvement sustainable striving context. Imagine a world without end.

Transforming Business to Ecological Niche Organizations
Organizations of today often exist by themselves for themselves without sensible or rational connectivity to other proximate beneficial organizations. It seems that business itself has become a self-promulgating machine in many cases and is out to survive at any cost to society or our natural environment. In essence, they often use the characteristics of our current world today as an opportunistic, self-promoting, and self-advancing means to survive in a financial world context. It appears that most organizations’ functioning is out of context with higher planning that integrates the contextual, rational, reasonable, and sensible with the solely opportunistic functioning of today. I think this would change if we eliminated the money/finance striving piece as the primary motivator of people and organizations. We must stop the opportunistic and often exploitive tendencies of those organizations that think little of taking what they need for survival. Unplanned resource extraction and consumption in this out-of-context survival at-any-cost mentality unnecessarily create more reactionary behavior, which tends to make more of the same. The result is more reactionary complexity and extreme tactics when resources become limited because of a lack of planning. I am also concerned with externalities and pollution associated with a solely industrial-era mindset to produce as much as they can for as much profit as they can so they can make investors happy.
Meanwhile, our regulatory structure cannot regulate much out-of-control survival at any-cost organizations when many look for legal loopholes or make mistakes without telling anyone. It is another example where the law is entirely inadequate as business is ever-changing, and the law cannot match the pace. Likewise, keeping up with business and industry dynamics would take a never-ending paperwork trail. I believe that, over many decades, businesses, lobbyists, pro-business legislators, and pro-business political groups have opportunistically and effectually taken over the functioning of the government of the people and for the people. The government has become more of a courtship with business and finance. It is primarily concerned with communicating with lawyers, managers, and executives rather than the most important “we the people” and our people working with our natural environment. We are on a dangerous road because we need to move beyond being masters of nature, as it says in the bible, to working together with nature. Maybe the translation in the bible may have meant master in terms of knowledge instead of master in terms of domination, control, and supreme authority. The only way forward is to work together with nature by putting ecological value, energy, benefit creation, and well-intentioned behavior above any profit derivation from public resources meant for all of us, not the corporations. From now on, I believe that God meant “masters” to mean masters in knowledge about nature and working together with nature instead of dominating nature for self-serving profit creation above all else. Therefore, we must change course and transform our functioning to something that is more compatible and works together with nature and our life support systems. We must strive to look after our Earth and everything in an integrated way as best as possible and become masters in knowledge about human beings and their interaction with the rest of nature.
Transitioning to a sustainable striving planet Earth
Perception of perfection is an extremist ultra-competitive tool of subversion. It is a learned ultra-competitive reactive defense mechanism meant to keep certain people above others in society. Consequently, many downward spiral feedback loops are created as those that are perceptively perfect fail and do the unthinkable to others. Tools of subversion include keeping education, knowledge, and information from the rest of us while the powers that be are sole beneficiaries of created complexity, controversy, and conflict in the form of excessive law, regulations, and rules. I believe people want a more simplified closer to nature knowledge-based society where many incentives exist for everyone to want to learn about everything including living, loving, and striving to make the world a better place instead of an idealized anthropocentric notion based on out-of-context policy and laws that were created out of context with everything else. In essence, today we favor those who know more about the procedure, policy, law, regulations, and how to manage to get people in trouble and at the same time profit the other way by getting them out of trouble in an out-of-context way rather than helping them in the first place. I favor allocating resources in a holistic-minded way that includes education and knowledge acquisition and dissemination prior to the need to react when it is too late. Wouldn’t it be great to live in a world based on knowledge and education where everyone was involved in a holistically well-planned system that mimics more natural ways to strive to make the world a better place in an upward spiral feedback sort of way? Wouldn’t it be great if we could do such a thing while at the same time keeping people living in the comfort of their homes while each human miracle transitions to a more holistic ecological niche role in society (job) that strives to add value, energy, and benefits to a well planned holistic system?
