As far as I know there is only One Spirit and what we call “nature” is the manifestation and expression of it. I see no separation between nature and the one source of all that is.
It goes by many names.
In the dualistic manifestations of Creation, it is Source-Father-Mother. The law is endemic to the universe itself, not something imposed upon it from without by a separated entity.
This is my inner faith, hope and evidence not seen, but there it is, none the less.
Call it a “strong opinion” if you like. Perhaps the strongest opinion I hold.
I call it my inner faith.
I acknowledge no super-natural, only the depth of nature beyond our seeing, present understanding and comprehension, because of our present limitations.
Nature seems to extend much further than our awareness of her; far into the normally invisible realms of time and space, but becoming more accessible as we evolve, grow, transform and experience.
There simply is no division in the All One which is omnipresent, omnicient and omipotent.
However, it wasn’t always my view. I once too believed in an outside manipulating God, which was taught to me by my religion and culture.
When I was a child, I was led to believe that there existed a protracted conflict going on between the “natural” and the “super-natural.”
I discovered that no such conflict exists, except in the illusory mind of humankind.
I found out that there is a great power within — and when we use it –it becomes stronger — but when we do not use it — it recedes from us.
When that recession happens, we begin to view God as a fearful dictator in the skies, manipulating according to the divine whim of the moment. Such seperation is complete illusion. And it becomes a strong delusion when we fail to see it as the dream.
I had a whole lot of deprogramming to allow, within myself. And, still do for that matter. Without forgiveness, there is no progress nor transformation.
Spirit is infinitely creative.
The One Source of All That Is didn’t just make the universe and then stop like an outside watchmaker manipulating dead parts and breathing life into some of them.
It is all alive. Every photon, every quantum and sub-quantum particle is alive — each organizing and creating according to its own kind.
All is consciousness expressing the Source whether that expression is tiny or huge.
As the most modern physics merges with the ancient mysticism, there is mathematical and empirical proof.
It is awesome and beautiful beyond comprehension — and we seek to overcome and become.
We are humans becoming.
Help us to become.
The Great Creation itself is not static, but is evolving through the input of all its creatures who are like “sense organs” of the All One.
They are getting to know Creation in its unfathomable depth and height, breadth and width and in countless dimensions, time-lines and densities of space-time.
We are but tiny fragments of infinite energy and intelligence. We are like a huge dynamic hologram that transcends all of its manifestations, including its creatures, at the Source of All.
The interesting thing about a hologram is that every part (fragment) of it contains all of it. The whole of it. We are creatures in temporary forgetfulness, while sensing, discovering and expanding consciousness Itself. The only real Self.
We individually exist in a dreamtime.
Will we become lucid dreamers along the way, on our long adventure through forgetfulness, back to the All from whence we came?
In the meantime, we have to pay the rent, or become homeless.
