I think that if it true (as I think likely) that the spiritual fabric of the universe varies by location and time, and also corresponds, in at least some instances, with actual physical times and places we know in our world, this may explain some other aberrant theories I have about our use of the planet's resources.

A cursory glance at world history (which is all I am capable of defending!) will certainly seem to show that some times and places are veritable fountains of spiritual experience - for example, the Middle East, the source of several very influential Western religious traditions, and the remote regions of the Himalayan mountains, where it is said* that spiritual experience is almost impossible to avoid!

Perhaps there is a reason for this! A pet theory of mine, which could probably be demolished by most capable college students, goes a bit like this. The spiritual fabric of the universe is distributed unevenly, in quality and quantity (whatever those mean in this context!), and as such various parts of the planet have differing capabilites to support spiritual life. Now, the spirit is a vital part of our selves, and as such needs nurture and care just like any other part. Just as a desert may not be able to support many bodies, and a fruitful flood plain can support huge numbers, I think some parts of the planet are thinly provided, and others richly blessed, with that fundamental source or connection, the "juice" for spiritual experience.

I think that North America is largely a weak source of this "material", and for me this explains why the alleged civilisation wrought here by European and other immigrants seems to be so bereft of spiritual context. There may only be enough "fertile soil" here to support a few million healthy souls, so many poor individuals suffer, and go without, and starve all their lives.

There are probably places where more souls can live than bodies, and as such there will be few occupants but many mystics among them.

The importance of this point may be taken metaphorically, perhaps. It is about "how to live". It is not enough to not take too much from the land, we must learn to not expect more than the "spiritual landscape" can offer, as well. These things can be learned from careful experience - a good "listen" with ones ears closed will tell you how much spirit energy is around, in a given place and time.

It will certainly vary, and some variations will be rapid (on our lifetimes scale), and some more slow. Much like the climate, the observations will not always hold true but there will be broad ranges within which the levels will maintain for long enough to plan our expectations on.
