Earth has its program of which our human history and all of its endeavors are only a part. This larger meta-program of Earth is called the biosphere, the scientific designation given to what is commonly and inadequately referred to as “the environment.” As such, the biosphere is a whole system composite of the sum of life and its organic and inorganic support systems spread out over the surface of Earth, hence bio = “life” + sphere = “having the form of a globe.”
In a word the biosphere is a vast but fragile process which has been evolving itself for some two billion years on this little planet as it spins around its local star, the sun. But we humans, who only in 1969 first saw ourselves as a planetary being – the whole Earth beamed back at us via television by a rocket hurtling toward the moon – we humans have been generally so self-involved in our own interpretation of things that we have missed seeing the larger picture of which we are a part.
This larger picture is the entirety of the biosphere which encompasses the evolution of life on Earth as a whole system process. The amazing thing is that most of us have never even heard of the biosphere.  Even fewer know that we are a part of this whole system governed by laws and principles which we, in our self-made arrogance and ignorance, have but little understood. From my experiment in time, seeing and studying the human as part of the larger self-evolving fabric of the biosphere, I came to the conclusion that the human is living in a time apart from the rest of the biosphere – an artificial time whose climax and termination is inevitable, for nothing artificial can withstand the force of truth.
If the human is living in artificial time, the clock is an artifact whose system of measure has nothing to do with natural cycles but is a totally abstract standard, then there must be something called natural time. I will go even farther and state that not only is there natural time, but that there is a law governing natural time, and that is the Law of Time. Just as Newton only discovered gravity some 300 years ago, though gravity has always existed, so the Law of Time has always been in operation, even though it was just recently discovered.
It is the Law of Time that governs the entirety of the biosphere and everything else in the universe according to principles which are only dimly known to us, principles like synchronicity and telepathic instantaneity. Yes, to understand what really happened on 9-11 you have to understand the Law of Time and how it governs the biosphere-of which our rampant human civilization is inescapably a part.
