Humanity and Nature
Opposition Between a Person and Nature, and Humanity's Common Ground
We are getting tired of barriers that we have created. Whether we are aware of it or not, all of us are yearning to return to the same source from where we came.
This is the 3rd part of a 4-part article "All as One: A New Level of Confidence and Power"
Opposition Between Me and Nature
So how does the rest of nature work? Everything in nature works in the same way cells maintain the living body. For example, if there is a problem in one of the body’s cells, then all the cells unite to save the sick cell.
In nature, cancer begins when one cell starts acting egoistically in its relation to others. It becomes cancerous and kills the entire body, including itself. It devours all those surrounding it without any obligation toward them. It uses them to divide itself unceasingly, unresponsive to the body’s commands.
This is how it is with us, and with me. I am born into this world, I do everything in order to best develop myself in it, I devour everything surrounding me and try to divide myself unceasingly, into my children, into whatever I make, into whatever I say, and at the end, the only thing I can be certain of is that I will eventually die along with everyone else. I’m no different to that cancerous cell.
In spite of this dismal, black picture, it is just the recognition of a dark spot within a process that is leading us to the greatest thing ever. There will be a happy ending, just read on…
Humanity’s Common Ground
Ultimately, the fact is that we are all human beings. We are all subject to the same laws of nature, and we have no choice but to keep them. These laws unite us at a fundamental level. No matter what we do, our lungs are where we absorb oxygen, our tongue is where we taste, and gravity stops us all from floating around everywhere.
While we are united and recognize each other as “humans” due to whatever physical laws hold us like this, we don’t know the law where we can identify humanity as one body, and work together as one human body, each for the wellbeing of the whole. Each one identifies him- or herself with something that connects him- or her only to a certain segment of humanity, and separates him- or her from other segments of humanity.
But today, things are happening that are making us want a whole picture more and more. Globalization is happening, more people are intermingling and looking beyond racial, cultural and religious differences to discover what makes us all human. Science is coming to it too: Biologists are talking about how our planet functions as a single organism and physicists start talking about how we are all interconnected at a fundamental level of existence.
This is an expression of a desire that is yearning to see us come together. We are getting tired of barriers and restrictions that we have created. Whether we are aware of it or not, all of us are yearning to return to the same source from where we came.
