Being Natural Men and Women
As I read COMMON SENSE by Thomas Paine, I am struck by his frequent use of the term: 'natural.'
Muhammad Ali, at 12 years old, began boxing lessons. He began training himself to fight, so that he could successfully retrieve his stolen bicycle from its thieves. That move was prudent and natural.
Lou Raul's song about "A Natural Man," was a big hit, decades ago.
Nature is the template for our own natural human conduct. That is why scientists study nature's many mysteries, to unravel its laws, to copy, to replicate, and apply them. That is as it should be. Mankind is composed of nature, subsisting on nature. Our natural lives are girded, are enshrined, by birth and death. Nature's chemical elements and properties comprise us. Its physical laws govern us. Its beauty inspires us. We are magnificent natural creations occupying our natural planet. We must always be natural.
Appreciating proportionality is quite natural . Small children know "who's got the most" or the least. They born with an intuitive sense of just proportions, even before they study arithmetic or geometry. They are born with it, naturally, as they are born with a sense of rhythm; loving music, and the mathematics of which it consists, fractions & all!
Nature is God's love of and laws to mankind, being mankind's teacher, being mankind's shelter, clothing, food, drink, being mankind's special generative means of Ascension, of transformation. Nature is our twin. Nature is not to be feared or to be run from; rather nature is for us to embrace as one.
