The natural is Wise.

The mind can hinder what is natural. Most of the time, this is what happens. The artificial, the superficial, lays its thick surface over the organic, on that which is pulsing and vibrant. The intellect, the mind, the Ego, is one thing. Its analytical nature is a tool, not an oracle of Wisdom.

We have access to the Mind, but we are not It. We are, intrinsically, natural. Our bodies and our souls are organic, atemporal, and paradoxically, immortal. The body can decay, but the soul lives beyond it.

The Body and the Soul are oracles. The wisdom comes from what is alive, and the organic and the essence of all living things is that Wisdom. The Sublime is Wisdom manifested, and it is perceived and realized by us humans through the intellect. But the intellect is only a tool, not a master.
