What do we consider to be natural and unnatural? Is there an absolute scale to the justice of which we assign degrees of naturalness to events and objects that appear in the space-time phenomenon. It is a general convention to order the word ‘natural’ to anything that occurs biologically, organically or cosmically. Somewhere along the course of history man has learned to term most of his individual choices as events that occur outside the boundaries of nature. But the word natural, what does it mean precisely? In my perception, nature includes everything that occurs. If something is to occur outside the boundaries of nature, it must be caused by an entity that is separate from it. But is there such an entity that exists independently of the universe? If the universe is natural, can there be anything of the opposite kind that can occur within it? I expect the reader to consider the interrogative quality of the argument instead of digesting the interesting aspects of it and creating an intellectual pizza out of it.
We are led to understand that there cannot be any event occurring in the universe that is beyond the boundaries of nature for it is clear that nature has no boundaries. Every action conceivable by the mind occurs within the consciousness of one which obviously makes it natural. However, for the sake of technological applications it is sensible to make the division between the natural and unnatural as much as it is useful to have the separation between subject and object to understand oneself.
I am forced in this argument to believe then that there can be no event, no action and no object in this universe that can exist outside the will of the universe. This leads us to understand that everything that occurs is perfectly correct or perfectly perfect. Inclusive of the vast experiences of suffering that human beings subject themselves to (most of which one might consider unnatural even though none are), everything is a unique aspect of a vaster cosmic harmony. Most of these things are commonly heard spoken around in spiritual conventions and metaphysical meetings but what does this mean in reality? Is it possible for one to understand and imply this harmony in one’s own life? To know a concept intellectually is almost the precise opposite of understanding it experientially.
Let me exemplify the conflict that exists. As you read this article, there is a constant dialogue running within yourself, a compulsive voice that decides for you which point to agree with and which to set aside for further examination or which to disagree entirely with. This dialogue is the intellectual aspect of your mind which separates the observer from the experience. As long as one is absorbed in this dialogue, the only experience one will be having is the dialogue itself and not what the dialogue is trying to imply. This is the simplest understanding of the egotistic conflict which exists in every individual. There is an idea of oneself through which one constantly looks at the world and the only experience one is exposed to is the idea of oneself instead of the fresh experience that is brewing outside every moment. As a result of this, in the History of the Earth we are the only sentient beings to have experienced intense boredom, intense lasting suffering and a constant fear of death.
Look behind your eyes, there’s something there that is really nothing. But in this nothing, exists the potential for everything. In this void, there is the potential to birth a trillion endless universes, a magnitude of multiverses imploding and exploding and tumbling eternally into an eternal nothingness. You are this phenomenal nothing. Everything that has ever happened, that happens and that ever will happen has done and will do so in the ground of this nothing, and you are mystically not the content that happens in the ground but the ground itself. And you are all this ground and you will always be. In the light of this self-realization, we can proceed towards structuring a more mature society that is lesser gripped by the torments of fearing its own subjects, we can construct technologies that are founded on intelligent compassion instead of the greed to progress. But such a realization begins with the subjective approach of every individual rather than a political molestation of organized concepts.
You are surfing on ocean, take a deep dive into your own depths every once a while, it serves to bring you to your own true essence. And it is groovy, and it is good and it gives you power that is beyond the thirst for power. All you have to do is turn your attention to who is watching this entire phenomenon of existence.
Who is watching?
