Interesting you refered to Bucky when your feeling under the weather. One of Bucky's theories that I like and resonates with me in my life is his precession theory. When Bucky pondered the question of how to be productive in the world, he came up with the scientific explanation of the way reality worked for him. It's called orthogonality or the precessional effect. Orthogonal means something that happens at right angles to something else. Precession is when the direction of movement ends up being at a right angle from the direction that the force was applied, sort of like a spinning top. In very simple terms and loosely translated, Bucky said that Universe supports you, indirectly, based on you doing your unique work in the world. He observed this in nature and found it to be a generalised principle. Secondly, he found that Universe supports you if you are doing what needs to be done. So the issue becomes determining what needs to be done as well as what you want to do and have the unique talent to do... ie Thanks for the post Josh :) and thanks for introducing me to John Seed and Joanna Macy.
