Nature does not think per se, yet it seems to be guided by a vast all-knowing intelligence, available to all of us, the seed of which is inside each person. Ever look at the trees, take in their majestic beauty? They seem to emanate stillness and peace, which if we allow it to, will impart its joy, calmness, and serenity upon us. Just as the trees absorb carbon dioxide, which we breathe out, and in return give off oxygen, which we breathe in, in a similar and mysterious way, we can feel their peace as we walk in nature settings. Perhaps all they want in return is for us to recognize and acknowledge the peace they project to us. As in the example of oxygen, spiritually speaking peace is their gift to us. Nature, simply due to the absence of the egoic thinking mind, is not, because of its none existence, burdened with duality, opposites, us and them, past and future, right and wrong, good and evil, and the like. Yet there surely is some intelligence at work in all this. What is this intelligence which seems to be beyond the thinking mind? Well, just look at a tree now, where is it pointing? Away from itself, to the macrocosm, perhaps indicating being part of a greater whole. In this simplistic state of innocence, is something abstract without beginning or end, beyond time and form. See how still nature is, rooted in being. Let its peaceful tranquility take you deep into the stillness it is, and it projects this stillness quite naturally and effortlessly into our world. Listen very closely and look intently, let the sounds and sights of nature, bring stillness to you. Listen consistently and it will speak to you of a totally different way of living. Then personify its gift of peaceful love into the world. If you work at it, bringing your mind, thought and extreme emotion to order, a mind quieten little by little will transform you. You will walk in a state of presence born of peaceful love. Speach and movement will soften, and the egoic mind will gradually loosen its grip upon the mind, a life script and ego, which adheres to this script, will be subservient as was always intended. The mind will then be used by you, no longer use you. Nature obviously is all around us, its peace opens up to us, portholes to nirvana constantly. We simply do not see it because our egoic mind blocks us from seeing it. The mind’s identified state is to live in a dream world. Free your Self from the egoic self.
