Question from the Internet:

“How can humans follow Nature's law in societies driven by the opposite? Is it not impossible? What about small changes? What are realizable goals to attain now?”

You are completely right, we can’t just change ourselves 180 degrees overnight and attain something we never tried before.

But we can try to come to it step by step, gradually.

And though it might sound strange, Nature is helping us in this.

What does it mean to follow Nature’s laws in society?

This means building mutually responsible, mutually complementing interconnections, cooperation instead of our egocentric, individualistic separation, working for the sake of the collective instead of constantly working for ourselves. At the same time, we would need to scale production/consumption to within the optimal parameters of natural necessities, available resources.

So how does Nature help us?

The Coronavirus stopped everything we do and closed us into our homes to taste what more or less natural necessities on available resources would look like without non-essential, luxury consumption. And the evolving financial, economic crisis we can’t stop (since we were already heading to collapse even before the virus) will completely wipe out the excesses, surplus.

Since the pandemic also showed us how much we are integrated and interdependent on a global scale we have no other option but to start searching for mutual cooperation, we start sensing what mutual responsibility is.

We will get direct feedback from day to day. We try to continue “solving problems” in individualistic, nationalistic ways? We will plunge even deeper into crisis as we can observe right now all over the world. We try reaching out to others and work together? We will see signs of success immediately.

And we do not need to wait passively for this to unfold on a global or even national scale. In our own families, close circles, neighborhoods we can already implement things right now. We can simply disconnect from the incessant media, marketing, entertainment brainwash, and only consume what is necessary for a normal, modern, healthy lifestyle.

Even just switching the TV off, or muting the advertisements had a profound, liberating effect on us and on our children at home!

And then we can build mutually responsible, mutually complementing support circles, sharing everything with others, there might be things we do not need while others need while there could be things we need and they do not.

And finally, anybody can enroll in a unique, purposeful and practical educational method which can teach us actually what Nature demands from us and how we can all adapt ourselves to it.

But every step we make will bring us closer to compatibility with Nature and as a result, we will see our lives turn around in a very realistic, tangible way!
