ONE WITH NATURE
and WITH GOD
Nature is described as “the
sum total of the forces at work throughout the universe(1).”
Mankind, to be sure, is an integral part of this wondrous phenomena, of the
greater natural order governing all things, seen and unseen.
The forces at work
throughout the universe may best be termed electrodynamics: the “interactions
of electricity, magnetic and mechanical phenomena of the universe(1).”
In short, the whole of space is an electric field. This is made only too apparent
when we experience electrical storms, with the “luminous, electrical discharge(1)”
of lightning.
From a time leading out of
dim antiquity mankind has
ever sought its
place in this grand scheme of things. Allegory and mythology, once used to
define our place in the universe have, over time, succumbed to the laws of science.
Witness the make-up of the
human body with its untold millions of cells, and atoms within cells, all
electrically charged and in constant motion. To our own misfortune, we too often
fail to recognize, and to act upon, our intimate relationship with nature.
To undertake a reawakening of
the soul—our innate spirituality—is a matter highly personal for each one of us.
In the doing, we at once become one with Nature and with God.
Our task, which soon becomes
a joyous life-long journey, is one of discovering our divine inner self. We
have but to acknowledge God’s Love and Goodness as our very birthright and to do
as we would be done by.
In coming to know God we
must quiet the turmoil of the mind, allowing the long-veiled soul to play its
proper role in our life, that we may be forever enveloped in His aura of
spiritual Light.
