We humans are often said to have lost our wilderness. We seem confused in our relationship to the rest of the universe, to which we are inseparably linked.
In a great “hallucination” of separation we fight our environment, destroy the trees that our lungs are adapted to live with and torture the fellow nonhuman animals we share this earth with.

The author of this blog is of the opinion, that the depreciation in our societies of the environment and the nonhuman world as mere unintelligent dust is founded in ancient theism, which assumes a big boss to put intelligence into matter. With the age of enlightenment, the big boss idea was discarded, however unfortunately we mostly still regard the environment as being mere creation. Let us find back to a world view more inclined with the sciences and with intuition, of Nature and the Universe as an organism, a web of life, which is in no need for a creator, but is both creation and creator. An inseparable whole of constantly interacting and changing perspectives, of which we are a part.

Let us realize that Nature outside of us, is Nature inside of us. Let us feel the common soil, which extends beyond the fringes of our human anthill. Let us realize that we do not have to belittle ourselves, as we are no less awe inspiring than the trees or the stars, and that really we are the stars, we are the universe, looking at itself from a unique perspective. Let us find to a more sustainable sense of interconnectedness of all parts among the whole, so that we may treat our environment as kin, and not as enemy.
