Gaia

By studying the history of our homeworld, we’ve come to realize that it represents unity between all living organisms and their inorganic surrounding along to its inner composition down to the depths of the planet’s core. This altogether system has represented a single evolutionary undividable, interdependent and self-regulating complex organism.

 

Throughout Earth’s history many cataclysmic events had scarred our planet, and these had impacted the fragile balance of the environment, pushing it to extremes and harming life on a planetary scale. During these events it’s estimated that around 97% of all life forms that had ever existed on Earth had been irreversibly destroyed, so what we see today is just a glimpse of all species that once inhabited our homeworld. After these terrifying events, the Earth had shown a tendency toward seeking and creating balance in its total environment. The planet sought physical and chemical environment optimal for creation and development of life, by regulating the conditions in an individual or global homeostasis. This is widely known as Gaia theory.

 

It’s safe to say that life has been an intricate part of Earth and confined within its safekeeping.

 

It’s also safe to say that after the Gods and the Creation, there hasn’t been anything more narcissistic than man. Our mindset full with self-affection has taught us that we’re the most spectacular of all life forms, since we haven’t met anyone like us. Even though, we admit that some species here on Earth are more intelligent than us, the whale family, dolphin family, even octopus family. We can’t explain to this day how the octopus family got here on the planet, they’re outside of our understanding of evolution.

 

Our definition of intellect is closely connected to technological capability. This has given us the right to rule by our choices and desires, and we desire to consume. Our connection with nature is based on what we can take for ourselves. We consume out of our need for greed, we console each other that we're hungry. Fires in our passion blaze ever so harder, we need to satisfy our lusts for resources and energy. In our weakness we show inability to set a path of unity and coexistence with nature, which doesn't include our greed, hunger and thirst for conquest. Humanity comes in  waves, our intensity increases further as we increase in numbers, and our growth in numbers hasn't been accompanied by growth in intelligence. 

 

We're not quite sure that this global warming is all our doing, since the planet is exiting a glacial cycle, and warming the climate with a positive cybernetic feedback, but we're certain that with our actions we're accelerating it, and it's happening with a pace beyond the evolutionary rhythms of most of the biota.

 

The planet will eventually prevail, we’ve found evidence of this in its crust many times. And in the aftermath new life will emerge, but in the meantime all life will inevitably suffer along with us.

 

So let's stop for a minute and take a breath of this nice thick polluted air. Let's get things straight... do we expand in nature for our thirst of conquest, or do we expand to satisfy our need of curiosity?

 

We ought to realize that we need other creatures, not mirrors, because after some time, the image speaks while the man stands still in silence.

Anthropocene

Humanity’s origins are rooted in a primitive, instinctual existence. Out of the shadows of our dawn, driven solely by survival, our species transitioned to elevated consciousness. Upon discovering our immense intellect and strength, guided by a creative abstract thought and profound self-awareness, we’ve built complex emotional landscapes which lifted us above our primitive beginnings. Evolution has been kind to us.

 

This journey of countless generations didn’t make us weary. Our choice was reason over instinct. On this path curiosity is our companion and guide. The rhythms of evolution have accelerated as we grow further. Our complex set of emotions are origins of both destructive tendencies and nobility, contrasts existing within us. This duality in our nature is both a warning and a hope, eventually through our capacity of wisdom we’ve achieved some sort of balance.

 

In this time line we’re overcoming serious temptations which threaten our very existence. This has been plaguing us since forever, a gentle reminder that our race is still young. By balancing our inherent dualities, we find the definition of our centre, this is how we define our humanity.

 

And who we truly are and where we’re headed, has depended on our ability to turn dreams into reality. We chart our future boldly, fueled by: curiosity, creativity, imagination and magic. At times the stakes are high, but we answer any calling, and somehow manage to emerge always on top.

 

Human soul thrives in liberty and freedom, it has never been a region of conquest or enslavement.

 

We find life discovered in the foundational principles, at the core of all nature.

 

As we seek for others like us out there, we find that life is the gemstone of nature, the dream within a dream.

An intrepid temptation

The world has changed, you can feel it all around you. So much has happened in these 2020’s that changed our reality from the roots. It’s not just nature, the political environment, our economics or religion, but entire societies are upside down. The 2010’s are gone, they’re like century away.

Our living environment has crossed the point of no return: climate is becoming unpredictable, sea is rising, atmospheric carbon rises as well, deserts are growing, Atlantic current shows signs of weakening. But then again it’s only our planet’s cycle, a positive cybernetic feedback that’s accelerating the climate after a dormant glacial period. A nature’s way of introducing a gentle stir, pick up evolutionary rhythms, challenge the resilience of species and the ability to adapt.

 

Our politics are lacking clear path, putting us in a very dangerous spot, filled only with a void of empathy. There’s a civilization clash, the greed of the old world doesn’t want to accept the obvious existence of the new one. It’s easy to turn to the roots of our chauvinism, make them larger than ever before and explode in our faces. We’ve been in this place many times in our past, we just need to learn from our mistakes.

 

Our civilization values are being tested: family as the core of society is failing, demographics are threatening the very existence of society, laws of economics are starting to fail us, wars are picking up pace.

 

Only to find ourselves in a position when threats are looming, it’s like we’re surrounded by fears trying to corner us in a place where there’s no way out. It’s like we’ve been dealt a single hand and we don’t have a choice but to fail.

 

But humanity is not about that, fears, failure, masks, chauvinism...

 

Our existence echoes strength and unquestioned potential proven so many times in our history. Its roots of creation lie deep within human imagination, science, magic and hope. Our perception when it comes to ourselves, nature and creation is impartial and nonselective. This trinity is observed here by touching into: politics, religion and economics; but it’s firmly nested between the tripartite border lines consisted of: psychology, metaphysics and philosophy on one side; logic and physics on the second side; creativity and imagination on the third side.

 

This place is challenging…

 

Natura Principia is a temptation, it's intrepid…
