What does ecological niche imply about our relationship to the Causative Force?
Part II of II
Change their biome and the animal dies.
Take a seal out of its niche and put it in the niche a fox fills and the seal will die.
But humans seem to be able to adapt themselves to almost any niche.
We are capable of living in tropical rain forests, cold mountain climates, hot desert regions, and the airless atmosphere of the moon.
Humans do not seem to be confined to ‘a’ physical niche.
Our level of awareness also seems to be different.
Other life forms on the earth seem have an awareness limited to time; humans seem to have an awareness capable of focusing on time, but they also appear to have an awareness capable of focusing on eternity – the absence of time.
We appear to be tied to an abstract ecological niche as well as to physical ecological niches.
Physical ecological niches involve the environment within which the organism is immersed, the organism, and the interrelationship between the two.
An abstract ecological niche also involves three aspects: an abstract concept of eternity within which our universe is immersed, the organism, and the interrelationship of the two.
What is this environment of eternity called?
Religions call it the Creator. Symbiotic panentheism calls it the Causative Force.

The environment, ecological niche, within which the universe appears to be located may well be total awareness, omniscience, the Causative Force.
