Chapter 3. Midgard 61
from the scientific community are beginning to move in this direction although at
this point in time the second group seems to contain the largest numbers. This
group holds that the universe itself (or possibly even a system of “universes”) is
a single system or organism and, as in the second group, any change made in an
individual part of the system will affect the entire system. The 60 year old theory
of quantum mechanics is partially the result of the efforts of this group, as well as
some of the newer ideas such as “chaos theory” both of which are far beyond the
scope of this author.
In the case of the ancient Germanic people, Earth is an integral part of a tripartite
concept known to them as Yggdrasil, Lærað, Mímameið, or, in modern terms, the
World Tree. In this ancient view, the entire universe is represented by the living
World Tree and contains all that there is and all that there can be. In modern
Germanic languages, the normal word for the universe is das (or other appropriate
article)All, literally translated as “the everything.” In Chapter 1, the connections
or the relationships between the individual parts were discussed. For the ancients
these relationships are represented by the Flow of the Waters of Life with the word
“Life” being that of the entire organism of the World Tree. For these folk, then, Das
gesamte All lebt, “The entire universe is alive!”
Among these groups of people, for the most part, there are a large percentage of
people who are concerned about the welfare of the planet. The “sterile-rock” group’s
concern is purely selfish, however. The Christian faction believes that the earth is
here for man’s use, i.e., to be exploited: “All things in God’s Creation are here for the
service of Man.” This group is becoming concerned, however, that over-exploitation
without control will eventually shorten man’s stay on the planet. With knowledge
of the effects of pollution, and the over-harvesting of non-renewable resources, man
can either poison himself into extinction or will run out of non-renewable resources
(mainly fossil fuels) so that the planet becomes uninhabitable for anything except
possibly cockroaches, coyotes, and a large number of bacteria and virii. Many in
this group justify their use of the planet by stating that it is the Will of God and
that, since their stay on this planet is temporary, the extinction of a few species
matters little or is according to God’s Plan.
The part of the scientific community that subscribes to the sterile-rock theory is
often very willing to explore alternative forms of energy in a unbridled fashion and is
also willing to move ahead with such experimentation to better the living conditions
of man. Many if not most of these scientists are careful not to “over harvest” any
one particular thing because they realize that there must be a balance, but, if a
species of life happens to fall into extinction as a result of “forward motion,” so be
it, as long as man benefits. This constant push forward resulted in the accidents at
Chernobyl and Three-mile Island, however.
