Restoring Natural Spirits

Dear Attorney Thompson Page, LLC Sentient Advocate for Domestic Companions Thank you for reminding me last evening, as I was feeling unfree, Retributive justice is rooted in ecological principles of healthy empathic relationships responsibilities judgments discernments communications between sentient beings. For remembering that good healthy effective legal systems intend to protect our interdependent webs while too often building punishing walls settling into side-by-side cells of separation, fragmentation of wealthy democratic purposes like robust well-being, cooperatively-owned curiosity and prosperity, healthy and courageous happiness, Constitutional gratitude for compassionate priorities win/wins for both justice and peace possibilities of EarthTribe patriotic loyalties encompassing suffering and joy. You mentioned several crimes against sentient beings. Some punished by legal precedent for protecting human nature more than Earth-nature's other sentient breathing forms legally misunderstood, under-refined, not well-defined, as mere property, Properties autonomously owned by narcissistic human natures, Legally presumed as morally superior sentient beings, becoming evermore integrity's active win/win advocates, inclusively aware we are not humanely alone in our co-empathic capacities for emotive communication. I am wondering, this morning, if it would make a nondualistic difference to our legal-moral systems to notice, and give germane standing, to Lovelock's Gaian Hypothesis that multicultural Earth is a globally sentient ecosystem capable of internal/external balancing health care, evolutionary regenerative development through complex organically organized sentience, ecosystemically communicating awareness between subclimates managing our diverse property and properties for competitive/cooperative EitherOr/BothAnd walled/webbed bicameral communion. If our legal oaths, moral allegiances, were to understand One nation, under God as also One of many interdependent nations and a few continents and oceans within Earth's sentient integrity of ecotherapeutic properties, I wonder if punishing and fragmenting judgment systems would fade into second place, deferring to primal natural justice for restoring healthy sentient relationships between Earth's propertied tribes, species, elements, Could natural/spiritual legal properties swing back toward universally uniting what could not be healthy secular/sacred divided by health-intelligent Earth's most sentient-wealthy interdependent beings?
