Nothing but nature

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

I think this enlightenment and spirituality-business is dangerous and

destructive. It leads us away from and destroys what is of vital

importance to ourselves, that is, nature.

 

What I mean is that anything we experience, is an experience of nature

(or the cosmos). In short, all there is, is nature. Nature is not some

external thing. As you are never separate from nature, nature and you

are one: it is impossible to say where a human 'ends' and

nature/cosmos 'begins'. To ignore/destroy nature is to ignore/destroy

humans, to straightjacket nature is to straightjacket yourself, and

vice versa. Nature is one.

 

Nature is a (comm)unity and everything that occurs in nature (f.e. a

human being) is a form of that (comm)unity.

 

So it's not Shiva, Shakti, (para)Brahma(n), God, Allah, Buddha-nature

or whatever other spiritual, mystical, or transcendental concept/path

that was, is or will be making your day: it all is, has been and will

be nature. Hence there is no high and mighty plain of Detachment,

Happiness and Bliss where the Enlightened dwell: every one of us is

here, in/with nature, as nature. And I assure you, we all suffer

tremendously from the wars that are being waged on nature.

 

So instead of searching for ((y)our) Happiness and ((y)our)

Enlightenment, we/you should better start minding and fighting for

what we are and what we were from the very beginning, viz. nature and

her (comm)unity.

 

Notice that, I, that is, nature, am being destroyed while you are

searching for Enlightenment. In other words, the search for a Higher

State of Being (Enlightenment, Liberation, Extinction) is one of the

terrors of the contemporary world. We do not need Enlightenment, we

need nature, and we need it now!

 

Other terrors that haunt our world are the terrorism of the Higher

Being (cfr. Abrahamic God), the terrorism of the Higher

Community/Leader(s) (cfr. states, kingdoms), and the terrorism of the

Higher Reason (cfr. Western Enlightened Reason).

 

The terrorism of the Higher Being (God) turns humans into creatures of

this Being on a mission to spread His Message and Love. This is a very

tough terrorism as it is purely rooted in the belief in this Being,

whose existence can not be proven or disproven.

The terrorism of the Higher Reason (cfr. Western Enlightened Reason)

turns humans into civilised, developed people who (are made to)

believe in the High/Developed value of democratic states, science,

industry,.. with all the political, economic, industrial,

(neo)colonial, social, cultural, ecological consequences thereof.

The terrorism of the Higher Community/Leader(s) (states, kingdoms)

turns people into subjects, civilians or followers who (are made to)

believe that this Higher Community/Leader(s) is more important than

their own natural (comm)unity.

The terrorism of the Higher State of Being (Enlightenment) turns human

beings into seekers of spirituality/enlightenment who (are made to)

believe that (people with) this Higher State of Being is(are) more

important/valuable than (people with) other states of being.

 

All these searches for Higher Goals terrorise/straightjacket human

beings. Being ignorant that nature is one, these straightjackets tear

nature into pieces (creatures, civilised/developed people, ..) and

destroy the (comm)unity of nature.

 

Let's face it: we are not really creatures, civilised/developed

people, labour-units, subjects, civilians, followers or

spiritual/enlightenment seekers. Let's stop terrorising and

straightjacketing ourselves: we are nature!!

 

The goal of nature is not to be holy/divine, civilised, obedient or

enlightened, but to live and enjoy her/our (comm)unity/ies.

 

Therefore, we must (learn to) support, conserve and live in/as/with

our natural (comm)unity/ies with love and wisdom, and help stopping

the denial, straightjacketing and destruction of nature/ourself in the

name of some Higher Goal.

 

The only energy/power humans need is not nuclear or electromagnetic,

but energy/power that is naturally available. The fusion humans need

is not a nuclear fusion, but a fusion of natural/human energies.

 

 

I wish us the best of luck!

 

 

Greetings,
