-- *Mar*Nature as Self
In lush, free and enchanting nature, one gets engulfed in rapture, as one becomes nature. The mind stops observing and analyzing.Space-time, enchants continuously. The simple present tense never ends. Death becomes part of the same simple present tense, as one has always been nature. After death, one automatically participates in nature’s recycling. On the otherhand,when the mind takes over observing,analyzing,calculating,defining,scoping,confusing,worrying,fretting,destroying,planning,distrusting,scienceing,...,only when nature is made sick and subjected to destruction, and continuous wounding called economic activity, one wrenches oneself out of one’s own macro body. We have to realize the most elementary fact, that we are part of nature, and can live only as nature. In free and lush nature happiness blows in the winds. You are essentially the macro body, Gaia. And rapture is the natural state. If you can see everything, atoms, particles..., then you can neither see nor conceptualize yourself. You cannot recognize yourself as a separate person. It is not your mind but the winds and music of nature that absorbs you. You experience the reality, thousands of atoms and energies entering you and thousands of them leaving you, showing clearly that your existence as a separate person is a myth. The mind is a very restless and very hungry organ, guzzling about 20% of the oxygen breathed in and 20% of the glucose created in the body. It makes you feel separated from your own macro body and you become incapable of rapture. Meditation essentially is stilling the mind and not allowing you to disturb your partnership in nature. When you can see everything, you cannot see yourself. When you breathe and feel symbiotically along with other organisms in the Biosphere you get into rapture and then too you cannot be conscious of yourself. In lush and free nature, in rapture your internal hormonal communication, becomes an extension of the troposphere outside and you may not even feel the separation as breathing automatically triggers hormones. The climate outside and the hormones inside, become one. The mind will be mainly inert, as life proceeds rapturously. Mother Gaia becomes your body and mind. We need free and lush nature today desperately and for that every technological solution is no solution.Nature is emotional and not mechanical.
