Dear Rawn, Many Thanks for your kind & inspiring answer. This is leading to other questions, but all of them are finally coming to the ones forever asked by manking such as "what is the manning of creation as it is and why is it so ?" Despite a straigh answer is unlikey to bring a definitive of these ultimate questions, I will just add a few lines. This situation, "species eating one another to survice" is not at a first sight inherent to what you describe "infinite change guided by infinite continuity". In other words, why does "the infinite change guided by infinite continuity" or "the consciousness constantly changing its *forms*" leads to a situation where species must eat one another to survive ? Your answer gives an insight on "how" we are part of alimentation chains and the purpose for it. But, still the reason of such a manifestation like it is, I cannot grasp This is becoming more phylosophy than Bardon Praxis, ;-) Your answer is for sure a very good start for me to deepen that; I feel meditating on your answer is the best I can do to refine my Understanding and inner knowledge. I feel deeply gratefull for that. Best Wishes, Pierre Mikael > >> (one eating the others for always, the purpose of this creation being > completely obscure). << > > :) It's really not that obscure.
