I [[marvel]] at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry industry] with which your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_Industry_Association_of_Washington housing industry] operates and the [[enthusiasm]] with which [[Youth|young people]] hasten to set themselves up in an experimental life station that is pre-programmed for them, in which they may never find themselves, and in some cases in which they are certainly [[doomed]] to fail, because they approach the [[matter]] of their life [[experience]] from the [[perspective]] of its trappings rather than its [[quality]] of [[living]].  Evidently they feel that “[[quality of living]]” means something other than what the [[spirit]] realm considers [[quality]] of life. Quality of life in a [[supernal]] sense has nothing to do with square footage or [[number]] of bedrooms or amenities or [[recreational]] facilities.  The needs of the [[body]] are such that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_nature Mother Nature] provides all the [[exercise]] you could possibly need, simply by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking walking] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Swimming swimming] and [[working]] and [[playing]].  When you arrange your [[exercises]] and your recreation down to the nth [[degree]], you deprive yourself of the contact with mother [[earth]] that feeds your needs in a [[fundamental]] sense such as you would have by putting in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden garden] or planting a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree tree], irrigating a ditch.  In your [[eagerness]] to become [[civilized]], you are [[sacrificing]] your [[connection]] to the [[earth]].
