Why are Nature and our relationship with Nature so important?

Question from the Internet:

“How is nature so important, the way we connect with nature?”

Many people call Nature “Mother Nature.” And that is not surprising.

We are born from Nature, we are still irrevocably integral parts of Nature, and we continue to evolve together with Nature.

We pride ourselves in inventing and creating things, but in truth, everything humanity has ever “invented or created” was already in existence in Nature; we just simply revealed it and copied it, combining the elements and templates we find in Nature.

After all, we are “programmed” by Nature; how could we be or become anything other than what Nature installed in us? It is like the mystical AI we are all glorifying or fearing; if we program and build it, how could it become in any way different than us?

So we need to humbly readjust our relationship to Nature as our life-giving and “creating” source that we cannot live without. We have this millennia-long “petulant, rebellious teenager” relationship with Nature, stubbornly trying to prove we are stronger and higher and that we could exist without or independent of Nature while changing, manipulating, and destroying whatever we like.

We are still like children in a toy store, thinking that we can take everything and we can do anything and everything according to our very limited and distorted, inherently egocentric and subjective consciousness and perception of reality.

Naturally, a question arises: if we are all products of Nature and all our thoughts and aspirations arising from the program Nature installed in us, how did we then become opposite to Nature, trying to destroy the very “mother’s womb” that gives us life?

As unique, empirical natural scientists — who have been studying human nature in contrast to Nature’s system for millennia — explain, even that was purposeful and methodical from Nature’s evolution. On the one hand, we are installed with this destructive “beta software,” which makes us enemies with nature. On the other hand, we also received a unique human intellect and observer ability, capable of critical self-assessment and initiating “self-upgrade.”

We are supposed to become the peak of Natural evolution with a very high and unparalleled role in the system. We have to become Nature’s only conscious and proactive element, that is, on the one hand, seamlessly integrated into the system, on the other hand, retain independence to become the system's fully conscious observers and equal governing partners.

Only when we study and understand the whole plan of Nature’s evolution and our own unique role and purpose in it can we finally correct our relationship with Nature — through correcting our relationship with each other. After all, in order to reach and fulfill our evolutionary Human purpose in the system, we have to become a single, mutually integrated, and mutually complementing Human “organism,” where each individual “human cell” takes and performs its unique, crucially important and irreplaceable role in the system.
