Nature....YES!!!

MH - what you're saying makes perfect sense to me!

Your post reminded me of these quotes - and how valuable it is to always be growing and changing and to not stay congealed into one rigid stance forever...(re: your comments on how Hulda is an open growing system!)

"The philosopher of the future will be an experimenter, Nietzche said; free to go off in various directions that could, conceivably, come into conflict."

and...

"But what is a conviction? It is a thought that has come to a stop, that has congealed, and the "man of conviction" is a man restricted; experimental thought seeks not to persuade but to inspires; to inspire another thought, to set thought moving; that is why a novelist must systematically desystematize his thought, kick at the barricade that he himself has erected around his ideas."

both quotes by Milan Kundera

Nature nature nature...

Have you heard of the 18th Century 'Vitalists' - I think they were from France? I've tried to find some information on them, because their ideas really resonate with me - but can't find much on them at all.

Anyway, thanks for the stimulating postings!
