Equal partners with Nature

Question from the Internet:

“In your opinion, is our function simply to achieve excellence, the way nature does, without the need for justification or explanation?”

On the one hand, you are right. We have to become like nature, simply perfect. This perfection – or excellence – means a single, lawful and deterministic, finely balanced and mutually integrated system with a single goal: to create and nurture life.

All of the seemingly random and haphazard processes, all the “ruthless killing and destruction” weaves together into a simple harmonious system, where each still, vegetative and animate part most optimally fulfills its function to sustain the “circle of life” and perfect homeostasis that is the foundation of life.

Human beings are different.

By default, we are seemingly outside of and incompatible with nature’s system and its harmony. instead of sustainining and developing life we are destroying it. With our excessive and ever-growing consumption and quantitative growth, with the ruthless competition where we all succeed at each other’s and nature’s expense we exist and behave like cancer.

But this is also purposeful from nature’s evolution. Humans have a different role to fulfill than stones, plants and animals. We are not suppposed to be blindly and instinctively integrated into the system as other elements of nature. We need to become integrated into the system consciously, propactively and above and against our inherent nature.

It is this “supernatural” – above instinctive nature – mutual integration with nature’s system – through purposeful and willing mutual integration with each other – that will elevate us to the “truly Human” level of evolution. Our role is not simply to create and nurture life through this integration.

Our role is to undertstand how and why life is created.

Our Human role is to justify the system and to explain how it works, why it came to life and what its final goal and purpose is.

Our purpose is to become actievly and consciously integrated into the system abobe our inherent self, so we could become the system’s only truly conscious element, internal observer and equal partner.
