YM: When education takes to the paradigm of emotional interactions in and with nature, nature automatically becomes the partner in the great college of nature. We must be aware, that we simply cannot live naturally anywhere else outside our earth. We cannot live on the Moon, or in any of the planets of our solar system or in any of the moons of those planets. We can live only on earth and that too as a part, component, limb, sprout and ingredient of earth. Then can we be indifferent to the hovering nuclear disaster, which burns red every life form, a prospect now staring at us? The frenzy for technology is changing into frenzy of destruction and the takeover of terror in the air we breathe. Take the kids to nature and make them practice smell and identify. KR: Paradigm of nature: The phrase "paradigm of nature" can refer to different concepts, and its meaning may vary depending on the context in which it is used. In general, it is often associated with ideas related to the fundamental principles and patterns that govern the natural world. Here are a few possible interpretations: Scientific Paradigm: In a scientific context, the "paradigm of nature" might refer to the dominant or prevailing framework of understanding and explaining natural phenomena within a particular field of science. For example, the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the solar system represents a significant change in the paradigm of how we view the natural world. Ecosystem Paradigm: In ecology and environmental science, the paradigm of nature can refer to the study of ecosystems and the interconnected relationships between various living organisms and their environment. This perspective emphasizes the importance of understanding the natural world as a complex, interdependent system. Philosophical or Spiritual Paradigm: Some individuals and philosophical traditions view "nature" as a concept with deep philosophical or spiritual implications. The paradigm of nature in this context may refer to the idea that nature, the universe, or the natural world holds intrinsic value, meaning, or wisdom. Sustainability Paradigm: In discussions of sustainability and environmental conservation, the paradigm of nature might involve recognizing the importance of preserving and protecting natural systems for the well-being of both humans and the planet. It can relate to a shift in thinking from exploiting nature to coexisting with it in a more harmonious way. Artistic and Aesthetic Paradigm: For artists and creative thinkers, the paradigm of nature can represent the inspiration and beauty found in the natural world. Nature has been a recurring theme in art, literature, and other creative forms throughout history. The interpretation of the "paradigm of nature" can vary significantly based on the context and the field of study. It often reflects the way people perceive, interact with, and understand the natural world, whether through scientific inquiry, ecological awareness, philosophical contemplation, artistic expression, or other perspectives.
The idea that nature is universal, beyond space and time, reflects a philosophical perspective that suggests that the fundamental principles and laws governing the natural world are constants that transcend the constraints of space and time. This concept can be approached from various viewpoints: 1. Scientific Universality: In science, there is an assumption that the laws of nature are consistent and apply universally throughout the observable universe. Scientific theories and principles are formulated to describe natural phenomena and are believed to be valid under various conditions and at different points in time. 2. Philosophical Universality: Some philosophical perspectives propose that nature or natural truths are eternal and unchanging, existing beyond the limitations of time and place. This idea has been explored in various philosophical traditions, such as metaphysics and ontology. 3. Cosmological Universality: The study of cosmology and the universe's origins often involves questions about the fundamental laws and constants that have shaped the cosmos. The belief in universal physical laws, such as gravity or electromagnetism, is integral to our understanding of the universe's behavior. 4. Environmental Universality: In the context of environmental and ecological concerns, the concept of universal ecological principles suggests that certain principles governing ecosystems and the interactions between living organisms and their environment apply universally, regardless of geographical or temporal differences. However, it's essential to note that while the idea of universality in nature is a foundational assumption in science and philosophy, it is not without its complexities and challenges. Scientific theories evolve as new evidence emerges, and there are still open questions about the extent to which our current scientific understanding applies universally, especially in extreme conditions or at very large or small scales, such as in the study of quantum mechanics and the behavior of the universe at the moment of the Big Bang. In essence, the concept that nature is universal beyond space and time is a fundamental premise in our efforts to understand and explain the natural world, but it is continually subject to scrutiny and refinement as our knowledge deepens.

We adopt the attitude of the outsider who is observing and living in the make believe that we are simply not touched by the continuous changes happening in nature. The basic emotional bond, based on breathing, that makes you part, participant, limb, sprout and ingredient of the planet earth, must be ignored for the spectator or scientific attitude, the attitude of emotional indifference. You have to ignore the fact that living is living in symbiotic emotions. Now, the war between Russia and the Ukraine has already resulted in the death of more than five lakh soldiers. The war in the Middle East, with the nuclear armed American aircraft carriers, ready to join the war, is taking us to the ultimate nuclear holocaust. In Sudan now genocide is happening but that genocide is not worth noting, it has no news value, as it is happening to the African blacks. The bomb in Hiroshima that roasted alive immediately more than a lakh people was just 13 kilo tons TNT.Now the normal small nuclear bomb is in mega tons or in millions of TNT and their total number is in thousands. There are also the tactical nuclear weapons. We just do not know the total number of life forms that get killed, even in the explosion of a small bomb. For all of us, war as long as it does not affect us is actually exciting and entertaining news, and cine writers are busy fantasizing and adding to the tragedy to create success in the box office. Emotion must be only for excitement, not as communication and certainly not to create empathy as it robs us of sleep. But we have to start the education of the tiny tot, with the first paradigmatic lesson that it is part of nature, of the planet earth. We have to make it practice breathe, smell, identify and gradually perceive, perceive emotionally, not mechanically with cultivated indifference to emotions. The child must be trained to feel nature, in nature and not lectured at in AC classroom, in the artificial air. Let us just contemplate what will happen when we adopt the paradigm of emotions. Let us now just concentrate say on the equatorial evergreen forests. In those thick and lush forests, there is a wide variety of flora and fauna. All those life forms inhale the smell messages of the other organisms and exhale responses, creating rivers and oceans of emotions in the troposphere. Those rivers flow into every organism and they collect emotion feeds from them. That activity impacts and molds every minute of our emotional life. Then the destruction and devastation of nature, the death, devastation and deprivation of many life forms, cannot continue as mere academic news where one can be indifferent. When one gets accustomed to feeling self as a macro body and macro being, the wounds inflicted on nature now will touch us. When education takes to the paradigm of emotional interactions in and with nature, nature automatically becomes the partner in the great college of nature. We must be aware, that we simply cannot live naturally anywhere else outside our earth. We cannot live on the Moon, or in any of the planets of our solar system or in any of the moons of those planets. We can live only on earth and that too as a part, component, limb, sprout and ingredient of earth. Then can we be indifferent to the hovering nuclear disaster, which burns red every life form, a prospect now staring at us? The frenzy for technology is changing into frenzy of destruction and the takeover of terror in the air we breathe. Take the kids to nature and make them practice smell and identify.
