if we are nature and nature is us, then how do we
reach this modern point of the fragmentation of the modern world?
If everyone is us and we are everyone, then how do we fragment?
If we posit the other person as “the other” then we have achieve fragmentation…
if we allow this negation of the other person as “us vs them”, then we
create fragmentation………. if we see the other person as simply us,
then we have no fragmentation… a united, combined nature doesn’t allow
fragmentation because there is no difference between anything in the
universe… as we are all made of atoms and thus at the smallest, basic level
of existence the same, then there is no difference between dogs and cats
and cars and galaxies and us… there is no other… anything…
for we are all atoms… we are combined into different shapes,
but aren’t humans in different shapes anyway but at the heart of the matter, we
are the same… atoms combined into different shapes……
I am short and someone else may be tall, I am white and someone
else may be black and I am male and someone else maybe female…
it doesn’t change the fact that we are the same beings, human beings…
and animals may have two legs or 4 legs but they are still animals…
and insects may have any number of legs or means of motion and yet,
they are still insects… it doesn’t matter what the atoms shape become,
they are still just atoms in different shapes… we are just atoms in different
shapes…… and that means if we damage or hurt animals, we are hurting
our fellow atoms, atoms that may find their way to become human beings
in time or, or may even have been human beings in the past… atoms are
simply what everything is made of, including us…………
that is why we are nature and nature is us… for we are made of the exact
same thing and the forces that has created us and the forces that
determine how we can exist, such as gravity and electromagnetism
are forces that determine all atoms regardless of the shape of atoms
at that time…and those forces that determine us, are also atoms…
as is time and space… for space bends and flexes and that bending means
that space is made up of something and that something is atoms……
One might ask where does the metaphysical stand in the midst of
all this atoms? There is simple no place to understand anything
that is not atoms…thus god which is understood at being outside
of time and space doesn’t exist because god isn’t atoms…it is
beyond the physical, that is what metaphysical means, beyond
the physical… and nothing exists beyond the physical, beyond or
outside of atoms………
we might not be able to account for all matter, but what matter that exists
is matter that is atoms and as we are atoms, all matter is us and we
are all matter………
