One of the worrying things about the way people approach God is the assumption that nature and God are somehow the same, but this is to have a naive moment. Nature has its own rules and at best might be seen as a creation of God, but is not the source, evidence, or even the actuality of God.
The myth is that God created the world and he saw that it was good. We can reject that idea, and say that the world could be much better. We even have the imperative to make the world a much better place. Indeed, it seems that we have a role from God to make our world within nature much better and to work with nature and our own natures to improve upon them. The end of the story is not that we are a product of God, but that we are potentially capable of producing good, and bettering the world that we live in.
It is doubtful that nature, as we see it now, is more than a very minor aspect of what we might conceive of as a God-based or a God-driven world. A world that includes God would be better, and we see that nature is not very good. We can work with nature to make it more like what we would interpret as good or benign. God's natural world is neither good, nor benign, even though we exist within it and derive most of our experience from it.
What we have experienced as the presence of God, or would create for ourselves as an image of God has what might be seen as natural aspects, but that is because of God's association with nature. What we see as nature is not the end product of God. If we thought that, we would probably become faithless.
The reality is that if we were to interpret God through nature, we would become very peculiar entities. This is because nature is so closely associated with creation, the materials of creation, the tools of creation, and our own participation in limited acts of creation, reproduction, and 'above all' imitation.
Our nightmare is that we have invented God to meet our need for a God without the proviso of knowing that the God we have created is our myth and not really God.

The Nature of Our World:
Wuh Lax Universe Expansion
and Everett's Multispace Fragmentation
One of the interesting aspects of our Wuh Lax world is the permiation of light throughout all the manifestations within each cycle of each multispace fragment.
Presence of Light
Light is the one constant that must attempt to break into each world instance, where the number of world instances is beyond our imagination and continues to grow with each cycle.
Not only is the recycling of the fragments continuous, but each has 'real' fermionic content. The fermionic content is a manifestation of a field influence. Each is unique and obeys the 'exclusion principle'.
Rapid Expansion Creates Space as 'We: All Things' Gather Speed.
The gathering of speed allows for the Everett type fragmentation.
To imagine what is happening, one has to remember that each fragment of the instances of our universe involuntarily partakes in an explosion of itself at such a rate that space is created for each and every 'potential' instances. This is the Everett content of the explosive expansion that we see around us and experience every day and which shapes our gravity, our 'time's, our 'spaces' and all our relativities.
Our World is Much More Complex than our Initial Imaginings.
The nature of our world with its many Wuh Lax Multiverse Vectors does not rely on significant elements being wrapped within their cosmic sphere of influence, but rather in fields of influence creating a multitude of structures that tend to get repeated in a non-linear fashion, i.e. not exactly repeated but frequently close enough that differences are hard to detect. The issue is whether these occupy the same space, or whether they are strung out over a vast continuing expansion of space.
There are obviously different ways of conceptualizing this. The reality is hard to conceptualize since what we sense is not reality, but aspects of our boundedness and a partial image of reality that allows us to interpret structures and to gain a sense of limited control.

The Challenges of Tragedy in Asia
One of my observations is the ease with which our minds protect us. We are not anything like what we think we are. It is the mind's ability to construct a rational world that both excites and frustrates us, which makes us human. When we observe what has happened in China and Myanmar, we can see more clearly why the human brain has an automatic shield than engulfs and buffers our emotions and reactions to extreme change.
Our Grief at What Has Happened in Asia
As humans, we belong to a species that has experienced extreme hardship and pain. It is the culmination of all the suffering and grief of previous people living their lives in extremely bad situations that has produced the human mind and given us the gift of peace at times when there is no peace.
As humans, we share a common past in which there was enormous suffering. We presently share in the grief and hardship of our friends in Myanmar and China as they struggle to survive. We know of their pain and we are aware of their grieving. We grieve with them. We share their suffering because, as human beings, we share and have a common past of extreme suffering by man, and this is what makes us human.
It is this shared past of grief and hurting that makes us aware and makes us human. We care because we have knowledge of pain. We love because we have the experience of peace and hope that others can bring to our damaged worlds. Our hearts go out to the people of Myanmar and of China. Let us help you in your grief and in the challenges that you face. Working together there is more hope! You are in our thoughts.

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret
Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth.
