Wild Metaphysical Musings about Nature

Imi writes...

Wild as my metaphysical musings of Nature may be, and sometimes seemingly even inconsistent with science and Darwinism, they are firmly based on observation.

First, Nature strives for complexity. From single cells, complex organisms evolved.

Secondly, Nature strives for diversity. Eco-systems are typically rich and maximally diverse. Only when Nature's forces are paralysed by human pollution are eco-systems poor and disabled.

Thirdly, Nature strives for something new and gropes unknown possibilities. Sexual reproduction is a more unstable and unpredictable form of propagating life, because bad genes can thereby be transmitted, and thereby cause in-adaptive organisms to come into being. But sexual reproduction enables vastly new possibilities and life has evolved towards it.

Fourth, and finally, life evolves towards intensity of living. Cold-blooded animals lead sluggish lives, but can live for a very long time. Warm-blooded mammals consume vastly more calories and live a more fast-paced and intense existence. And warm-blooded-ness comes from a later form in the evolutionary process.

And may I go even more wild with my speculation... The ultimate end product of life is the bringing about of the spirit. Spirit is a form of life with consciousness, where there is the greatest complexity, diversity, birth of new possibilities, and intensity of living.

I revere Nature precisely because from simple organisms there has come into being eagles, grizzly bears, tropical fish, lions and, above all, humans. We owe it all to this great cosmic life force called Nature!
