How can we have any effect on Nature?
Question from the Internet:
“How exactly do you vision changing or avoiding the next ice age?”
Our main problem with anticipating and solving any problems in relation to Nature is that we do not understand Nature’s system, we do not understand the changes that are happening, that might happen with or without human interference, contribution, since we are “outsiders” to Nature, we are incompatible with Nature’s laws, thus we merely scratch the surface with all our sciences, research.
And even what we gather through our limited sciences is also distorted, corrupted by our inherently egocentric, subjective consciousness, perception of reality.
If we wanted to know what to make of the present global warming — which is already upon us, not something coming — if we want to know if there is going to be a new ice age and whether we can influence these changes at all, first of all, we would need to “get inside” of Nature’s system, to see, understand all the cause and effect processes that are behind the changes we see.
And in order to “get inside” Nature and research it from within — like understanding the software instead of simply watching a computer screen — we need to become similar, compatible with Nature, and we have to be able to “think, perceive outside of the box” independent of our original subjective, egocentric perception and calculations.
And that can be achieved only if our human connections, human society will resemble Nature’s finely balanced, mutually integrated template. Then through the similarity, compatibility we achieved we will know for certain what and why is happening and we can prepare for those changes or even become able to influence them — from within.
By a purposefully, methodically built, unprecedented collective consciousness, intellect we can also start looking at Natural reality selflessly, objectively, examining, researching it as it is.
Until then whatever we postulate, philosophize about, whatever we call “scientific research” is just up in the air without any actual foundations. This is where we are at today when everything is just theoretical, all we have are assumptions, “educated guesses”, all based on our very limited, and distorted, inherently subjective, and egocentric perception of reality.
When we achieved our compatibility with Nature, when we have become its insider and at the same time independent observers — through the right, purposeful and practical educational, scientific method and with the new collective intellect — then we can start talking about specifics, about practical steps.
