Philosophy

If physical existence in order to be possible at all, has to be what it is, as a planet spinning around a sun in space, then it could be said it has to be what it is and what it is - is perfect. Conservative Spirituality considers the entire planet Earth as an ecosystem, which is considered as a complete and finished Whole in and of itself. Change is said to be Conservative, meaning all natural change as transformation or destruction, is defined as promoting the existence of tandem pre-existent states changed in identical or near like form, so as to preserve the already existent integrity of the Whole. After the forest fire, the remains immediately begin to regenerate. Other than human created change and weather driven epochs, the earth maintains its essential character for millions upon millions of years.

Necessity and Subsistence:

Natural transformation and destruction as tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes leave nature changed but the same, unlike a nuclear accident that might poison the land for thousands of years. The economic law of nature absent the human characteristic of Excess and Profit, is that all the millions of the various living species are limited to Necessity and Subsistence, which is the given condition of nature.

Necessity and Subsistence means the results & products of activity & behavior are equivalent to the energy expended, as necessary to the preservation and maintenance of any given pre-existent or present state and standard of living or life style, in identical or near like form.

If the planetary environment were considered a spiritual realm, there is no blame in fulfilling one's requirements for what a modest living standard would require, even though it impacts the environment.

Necessity and Subsistence means the integrity of the whole of living existence is maintained by the balance of predation, regeneration and renewal.
