Re: The Earth's Magnetic Field Did Not Collapse This Week
I'm an "Isist." Universe is. Infinite intelligence is. Your G-d is.
A thing (all things: corporeal or incorporeal) we perceive "is" as it is because if it weren't as it "is", then it could either not be perceived (because perhaps it does not exist) or be something other than what we perceive. (This is an example of the "anthropic principle.")
I am being human. You are being human (I assume). Non-human life forms are "being" something else.
Being human, we have control over only one thing. (Though few of us, including me, exercise plenary control of this one thing.) That one thing "is" our own thoughts (and thus our own actions or inactions). In my view, having control over only one thing must mean that we have control over the most important thing--our thoughts. Thoughts are ("is") truly things. How we beings use or misuse thought is up to each individual--which translates to the collective. The outcomes are good, bad, or indifferent. It is what it is and what it has been and will be.
We who are being human do not have any control of what other beings think and, thus, we have no control over what other beings do or do not do.
Get used to it. Let it be. "Is" is where it is.
