77: The PART/WHOLE of (R)EVOLUTION


According to R. Allendy, the number 77 joins the part of evolution to the whole of evolution.

All times are for some, sometimes, the best of times, while for others simultaneously the worst of times. My dream, my hope is that humanity grow the perfection of its wisdom (see below) so that we as individuals might better learn how to cooperatively improve the possibilities of those experiencing the worst of times. Perhaps then we could allways, all times, wish all of the best TO ALL and it might actually be personally meaningful TO EACH.

Two exemplary efforts that I frequently reference are those of

An ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN, LIBERTARIAN, SECULAR HUMANIST, NATURALIST THINKER ---
Henry David Thoreau, “Walden”: To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom# as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically”. 

# [wisdom being knowledge conditioned by one’s collective optimal valuing of the relevance, truth, purpose and presumptions underlying such knowledge/intelligence]

And of:
 [the quotes from both authors are edited for context coherence]:
A STORY-TELLER WHO TRANSCENDS DIFFERENCES WHILE BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN THE NON-NATIVE AND NATIVE WORLDS ---

Kent Nerburn, “The Girl Who Sang for the Buffalo”:This world here is just the cosmic field taking form. When you make an image of something, you are asking the cosmic field to come into that form. You’re making a home in part for the power of the cosmic field. --- Let me tell you, the way we’re living, the earth would be a whole lot better if we weren’t here. We’re the naked animal. We need everything else to survive. So we ought to be helping Mother Earth and thanking her, not just taking from her.--- I learn a lot from animals. My Grandpa said that the cosmic field uses animals for teachers. It puts a special power in every animal so we can learn from it by watching. We watch the animals to know how to live. --- You learned a lot from your Grandpa? --- Yes, Grandpa was a medicine man. He said I’d learn more by listening than by talking."  

A Lesson We Should All Learn.”
