Before we define the yin and yang of all things (we will get to this of course:) and your rightful place within it... nope, that's wrong, we're going to do 'your rightful place' right now.
Your rightful place...
...is a place on earth, in nature, in concert with all else and it is defined (in fact inscribed), in your very being. Don't believe it? Well, that is why I started this blog, because I got the proof and I want to give it to you right now.
And then show you how you knowing this simple fact is going to transform earthly experience for ALL humans, other animals, plants and everything and anything that is in this earthly biosphere and currently being affected by human ignorance-in-action (insanity).
As I said, this is the foundation part, the part that has to be strong enough to support all the other logical structures, and it is. See for yourself:
