Preface
This book is in some way coupled to myprevious book, The Potential of Nature.Ithelps you to better understand The Potential of Nature.After readingthisbook, the reader makes more sense of The Potential of Nature.This book deepens into what it means to beone with nature.Asa biologist,I emphasize the importance of beingenvironmentally friendly and further develop what it means to careabout nature. It takes up what our potential is whenrealizing beingone with nature.
Charles Darwin hasthrough his work showna side to biology that Itry to conveyinthis book.
Theviews presentedalign, to some extent,withthose of biologists such as Rupert Sheldrakeand Dennis Noble. However. Iwould saythe book takes it further,since it unifiesboth science andspiritualityintoone.
Living Life
Youmight have heard someonesay: –I am just“living life”. What they mean is that no timeiswasted and lifeisgoing well. Theyare living life as well as possible in thepresent moment. It’snot an easy thingtodoatall times. Staying in whatever you go through requiresconsciousinnerpractice. Ultimately, whatever adversities you face pass and if you are conscious duringthe process, you are rewarded with a fuller experienceoflife. So, what does afuller life give me? That’s like asking why am Ialive. The only way forwardis conscious living. If you are not living consciously,ithappens unconsciously.
When you decide andarranged howyou wanttolive within yourself, you give that away. Whengiving it away you in the same time also give it to yourself.
See that you spend your life investigating the truth about nature and yourself. Getting closer to understanding your true selfprovides afuller experienceoflife. Curiosity of nature –whether around you or within –can lead to answers to the biggest questions. This is the most important thing you can do and it enables you to become satisfied withlife itself. When engaging in consciousinvestigation of nature, you are presented with apossibility to end suffering. This is what it’sall about. Imagine experiencing life without all
the pain that life sometimesthrowsatyou. Ending suffering is thepurposeofall beings.
What does it mean to live life consciously?
When explaining what it means tobeliving aconscious life, it better to trytoelaborate on the subject of consciousness.
There is always someone that is more consciousthan you. Being wise is sometimeskeeping thepossibility open for others to also be conscious. Some go around thinking that they knowmore thanothers and therefore are better than others. The ego wants to feel superior to others.
When you live life consciously, you seeyourself doing it. In the same momentyou arebothexperiencing lifeand observing that experience.Thismay sounda bitstrange to some.They might wonder:why should one experience oneself experiencing life? This offers you achoice whether or not to engage in certain activities in life. If you are seeing yourselfbefore you are about to engageinacertainactivity, you might choose to not go through with it. If it happens unconsciously, you are just drawn into situations and life is lived in that way. Whateverdecisionyou face,being conscious before you decide helps you make intelligent choices.
When livinglife,ifyou arelucky,you couldmeet conscious beings. Ihavemet aconscious being, ChristianRichter with his partner. Youcould also listen to anotherconscious being in Swedennamed Susann Björklund.
