“It occurred to me that when the ‘dominant’ form of life is about to be displaced, the Earth undergoes a vast array of changes… some of which appear to be superficial, and are thus deceptive to those who focus on them.

But this doesn’t always happen on the physical level; there are other layers of life, that the physical animals are expressions of… and some of these transformations are take place where they would be invisible to physical (or conceptual) observers.”
