Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Dear S&S :-) This may help you. When I use the word 'nature' I mean physical, physics, something concrete, touchable. When you reread what I wrote (well maybe not yet, you deserve a break) with that concreteness in sight, confusion will not come up. That is what the word nature originally means, something very concrete, I only use the word 'nature' or 'natural' that way. When people use those words in common language as in:"It is *natural* for people to *think* that way," the meaning of the words have become abstract, lost contact with their original meaning as in 'mother nature' or 'the nature of things' and indeed that creates confusion in life (natural life) down the line. Nature is by nature a miraculous and at the same time very concrete representation of divine creative energy. Nature is the wonder... this real stuff is the miracle... (Miracle originally meant the energetic and wondrous "smile of God", happily creating, and afterwards in wonderment exclaiming that it is all so good!) Mirabile! Miraculoso! Marvelissimo! :-) I noticed how well you use the dictionary, in a way it is too bad that we have to do that, but so many words started taking on ambiguous meanings... I always use words as close as possible to their original meaning... That is why I added, when I used the term "human nature" that our human nature has actually become "de-natured", "de-humanized". 'Human nature' has come to mean something psychological... that is also why 'denatured' persons, the ones who have lost their grounding (I mean the ones who actually *hardly* physically touch the EARTH with bare feet) have a hard time living in reality, not in touch with (electrical) grounding energies... I always have to chuckle a bit when I see people trying to ground themselves with a mental exercise, a visualization, sitting cross-legged on a pillow... imagining hugging a tree... They will not be grounded, they will be isolated... Do you see more clearly where I am coming from? Jesus and the Buddha and most of those wise people were nature philosophers, the truth they loved (philo-sophy) was based on nature: the lilies in the field, cleansing and grounding water, the mustard seed, seeds on the rocks and in good soil, the vineyard... not some mental moral code... Yes take some time off... to digest... Ah, those feet in the dirt... the hands planting seeds, taking a long bath, getting rained upon...buy some flowers... It is actually not so important that you understand me, it is more important that you are convinced that your own truth makes *sense*, which means that it is supported by the human senses. It is to that end that I write, to support you in those self discovered facets of truth. One cannot go wrong when one stays close to nature... it holds the secrets to the highest spiritual truths... (scientist and physicist and philosophers are rediscovering that as well.) This is my message: That I speak for this wonderful and glorious earth, it is she we walk on and grow from. Anything of a higher (?) and finer (?) or subtler nature can only be fully understood when we totally accept our earthly nature as coming forth from a procreative 'mother nature' as planned and planted so to speak by a miraculous God. That we may participate in the 'Miracle', the smile on God's face when admiring All That Is. Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
