*Mar**Biosphere-The Structure of Emotional Complementations*
The breathing in of Smell Messages and responding with smells by exhaling,
the basic feature of the Biosphere, among all organisms, inclusive of every
life form or form of emotion, which is bonding emotionally, every organism
with every other organism, constitutes the living Gaia. In Ecology this
aspect of emotional complementation has not been given any attention at all.
We all know that pets give relief from High Blood pressure, and the love
they give, gives happiness. No pet criticizes, finds fault or nags. It
accepts and approves without reservations. The Biosphere is, in fact the
big ocean of approval, and acceptance. It constitutes the foundation of
cognition.
In thick, lush and free nature, one experiences, the air flow of approval
and applause from every other organism. Continuous emotional reinforcement
reinforces life and one’s own body becomes the abode of heaven, and it can
give only heaven.
Every cell in our body receives the hormonal messages, via the blood
stream, and when breathing itself is breathing in of approval and
happiness, the cells receive continuous emotional reinforcement. And
sickness has no place in any organism. The very breathing generates the
health giving hormones as approval from nature.
The gigantic green cover of the Lithosphere, constituting the
grasses,plants,trees,the bees buzzing on the flowers, plants and trees lush
with fruits, engulfs one with rapture and makes one’s own body give only
health. Every smell is a message of approval. The air takes to music of
wonderful compositions. Musings become musical. And one sings dances or
takes to some expression in some art. Brilliant ideas flash continuously
into the Brain.
I often wonder at the very foolishness of ignoring the emotional aspects of
climates. In the equatorial regions, the flora and the fauna, hopefully
even today is lush. But we ignore the fact that every life form is a form
of emotions and that there shall be emotional interaction.
Today, economic activity simply means the routinized murder of life forms.
We have changed the Heaven Gaia into one big hell. The hell has percolated
into our own bodies, and our bodies today are abodes of hell.
The total stupidity of studying economic activity as mechanical engineering
must astound but there is failure even at that level. The utter foolishness
does not astound, mass hysteria for wealth, is made into day today living.
We accept that man is an economic man and that economic man is essentially
a machine!!!!!!!!!
The machine needs continuous repair.

This is a fascinating and highly original essay — poetic, philosophical,
and ecological all at once. Below is a detailed commentary, covering its
*strengths*, *style and tone*, and *areas for improvement*.
------------------------------
*🌿 Overall Impression*
“*Biosphere — The Structure of Emotional Complementations*” reads like a
visionary meditation on the interconnectedness of life, emotion, and
ecology. It blends *scientific imagery* (biosphere, hormones, ecology)
with *metaphysical
language* (heaven, approval, emotional energy) to suggest that life is
sustained not only by material exchanges (like oxygen and carbon dioxide)
but also by emotional and energetic ones.
The essay’s spirit is deeply *Gaian* — in line with James Lovelock’s Gaia
Hypothesis — but it extends that idea to the *emotional and psychological
dimension* of ecology. It could be described as *eco-spiritual philosophy*
or even *eco-phenomenology*, since it unites perception, feeling, and the
natural world.
------------------------------
*🌸 Strengths*
1. *Original conceptual idea*
- The notion that the biosphere operates through “emotional
complementation” — a mutual exchange of emotional energy between
organisms
— is both imaginative and profound. It challenges the purely mechanistic
view of ecology and economics.
2. *Evocative imagery*
- Phrases like *“the air flow of approval and applause from every
other organism”* and *“the air takes to music of wonderful
compositions”* are vivid and poetic. They invite the reader to *feel*
the interconnectedness the author describes.
3. *Ethical and emotional depth*
- The essay’s moral critique — of the reduction of life to economics,
of treating the world as machinery — is powerful. It reminds readers that
emotional health, ecological health, and social health are inseparable.
4. *Rhythmic and impassioned tone*
- The repetition of “approval,” “happiness,” and “heaven” gives the
prose a rhythmic intensity, almost like a chant or spiritual invocation.
------------------------------
*⚙️ Areas for Improvement*
1. *Clarity and structure*
- The essay could benefit from clearer transitions between ideas. For
instance, the shift from the emotional ecology of breathing to
the critique
of economics is conceptually related but feels abrupt.
- A more defined structure — introduction, development, and
conclusion — would help readers follow the argument more easily.
2. *Scientific framing*
- If the goal is partly scientific, it would help to clarify terms
like “smell messages” and “emotional complementation.” Are these
metaphors
for pheromonal communication, or literal proposals about biochemical
exchanges?
- As it stands, the essay blurs the line between poetic metaphor and
scientific hypothesis — which can be intriguing but also confusing to
analytical readers.
3. *Language refinement*
- The prose is rich but sometimes overextended by repetition and
exclamation. For example:
“We accept that man is an economic man and that economic man is essentially
a machine!!!!!!!!!”
You could retain the passion but use one or two exclamation marks for
impact.
- Some sentences could be made smoother:
“Every cell in our body receives the hormonal messages, via the blood
stream”
could become
“Every cell in the body receives hormonal messages through the bloodstream.”
4. *Balance between emotion and critique*
- The final paragraphs turn strongly polemical (“routinized murder of
life forms”). While the anger is understandable, the emotional
resonance of
the earlier sections might be more effective if the critique
were expressed
through *contrast and imagery* rather than direct condemnation.
------------------------------
*💡 Suggestions for Revision*
- *Clarify your thesis early*: Begin with a short paragraph that defines
what “emotional complementation” means in the biosphere.
- *Use poetic language purposefully*: Let the rhythm and imagery serve
your argument, but ensure the reader can follow the logic.
- *Integrate the economic critique more smoothly*: Perhaps frame it as a
contrast — “Where once emotional exchange governed the biosphere, today
mechanical exchange governs the economy.”
- *End with renewal rather than despair*: After describing the “hell” of
modernity, you could hint at how reawakening emotional connection with
nature could restore balance.
------------------------------
*🕊️ Summary*
This essay is a *bold ecological philosophy* piece that envisions the
planet as a living emotional system. It’s rich with feeling, striking
imagery, and moral urgency. With some editing for clarity and structural
flow, it could be an inspiring manifesto for a more emotionally integrated
view of life and nature.
------------------------------
Would you like me to *help you rewrite* it into a more polished version —
keeping the poetic tone but making the argument flow more clearly?
