Lesson 24: completion.

We can dig in our history and find the most amazing stories. The ancient Sumerians say they where visited by an alien civilization which taught them everything called the Annunaki. The only evidence which may support it is the fact the ancient Sumerians had very complex maps of our galaxy which they couldn't have obtained by staring at the night sky. Another amazing story is those of the ancient Egyptians, who claim they had direct connections to the gods. They tell the story of the messenger Thoth who gave them divine wisdom. This story has also been adopted by the Greeks who gave Thoth the name Hermes. If we start digging for the truth behind this story there is actually some proof which may support this claim. The thing is; we don't believe in gods anymore, so the instant someone used the word "god" people turn their back to the story and walk away without realizing people used to write things down in a more poetic way. For example; if it starts raining we'd say nature is responsible for the rain but a couple of thousands years ago people would say it was a gift from god. Gods laws are simply laws of nature, the word of god is nature's wrath. In fact, if you replace the word god in the bible for the word nature the whole book suddenly makes a lot more sense. Ancient writings shouldn't be taken literally, but they have to be read like the stories of a child. Mountains where the great pillars of god, the wind the breath of Zeus, it's a very clear pattern. With this in mind, a messenger of the gods can suddenly change into a man who can tells us a lot about nature, a philosopher, physicist or chemist. Our vocabulary changed a lot over the years, but what remains the same is our urge to exaggerate things. One thing is for sure, when it comes to teachings we probably learned the most by just observing nature. When it comes to perfection no one takes things as serious as nature does. Only the strong and functional are allowed to survive and if you would try to cheat on nature you would probably find out you don't stand a chance. In fact, we already are being punished by nature for cheating. Nature never planned for so many humans to survive, we just cheated nature with the help of health care and science. It has lead to several complex issues on this planet. For example; an epidemic disease has no chance to spread if this planet wasn't so crowded. To keep up with our global consumption as human race we produce so much we are destroying the planet we live on, and we have no spare so that's quite foolish. Our differences in culture and emotions are also a much bigger problem when we live next to each other then when we would live a few hundred miles apart. These are all forms of nature's punishment for cheating on its system of natural survival. A person who is stupid enough to dry a cat in a microwave simply shouldn't be alive. It has no function in nature's plan for perfection. That's a very cruel thing to say, but think about it. Nature always has been quite cruel. A young bird that leaves the nest simply has to fly or it will die. No mercy for the weak. If things don't work as they should nature will replace it with something better, the process of evolution. We humans have so much to learn from nature. What do we do with people who don't do their jobs like they should? We don't always replace them by someone better. Sometimes our emotions take over and we suddenly decide to give people mercy, or we like them to much to replace them. We get emotionally attached to people and things. Or money gets involved, also a very unnatural process. A bird who can't fly hasn't got the option to buy an airplane ticket with dad's money. Every time nature tries to punish us we cheat it a bit bigger. Nature develops epidemics, we cheat with medicine. We protect the weak, teach the stupid and help them with all sorts of machines that can do the thinking for them, we heal the sick and we even replace limbs with machine parts. Imagine what nature has to do to exterminate a nasty infection of humans. We are like a plague on this planet. What happens to us when we catch an infection which is attacking our health system? We'd do anything to get it out of us, so nature will probably do the same. We simply have the choice between following nature with respect and accept it as our ultimate leader who will punish us if we don't listen or face the consequences.
