1. Understanding the Existence of Human Being
In the previous articles, you have read how the Soul manifests in human body together with its life lessons and experience that it has to go through. The Creator has prepared every need for the humans in order to be able to live and to go through their sustainable lives by providing sufficient necessity for every human, which we know them as nature, such as: mineral kingdom, plants kingdom, animal kingdom.
1.1. Mineral Kingdom
The existence of mineral kingdom comprises of various matters which evolve, transform as well as combining each and every of them into other forms, such as: water, stones, sand, etc. Every existence cannot be be separated from this mineral kingdom which has the role as the basic platform for all living things and existence. Notice how our ancestors tried to mine all kinds of earth mineral which had been known to contribute benefits to them, either for the 'good' or for the 'destruction' of human. It is just like a sword with two sides of sharpness, which can be used to cut things or to kill. Some elements from this mineral kingdom can be harnessed by those who have spiritual ability as a means of: healing, treatment of diseases, blocking other manifestation of energy or to use them as symbols that can be considered to give protections, power and influence to the human. This harnessing can also be used for the 'good' or the 'bad', which of course it depends on the human. Don't you realize that how two or more mineral elements can form other mineral structures?.In the human body, these elements from the mineral kingdom also exists as: blood, water, bones which we often refer it to 'Alchemy' during the middle ages, but actually this has been practiced since the early day of human civilizations.
1.2. Plants Kingdom
Other important component is the plants kingdom that has great role for the sustainment of every life, from the single cell to the more complex multi cells. The life of all plants cannot be separated from the mineral kingdom which all plants must feed from. If we look closely at the structure of plants, from the shrubs till the tall trees; we will find that the veins tissue that brings food in all the branches, stems, twigs and leaves have the same shapes with the human blood veins and nerves network.Actually nearly all parts of our internal organs originate from various kinds of plants that exist in the universe. Therefore by consuming moderate quantity of vegetables and fruits can make our physical body fresher, because what we consume are the same stuff as what we have inside our own body which can support and strengthen certain internal organs as well as other nerves and blood vessels networks. In other words, we are also siblings with plants kingdom, as we can see in the following drawing: nerves network, artery network and lymph.
The following result from the biology research team may make us feel closer to the plants Kingdom. Every time when we inhale the air, it contains O2, which can also be generated in the photosynthesis by the plants; when we exhale the air, it contains CO2, that is absorbed by the plants. Biologists have also found that the chlorophyll molecules from green plants are similar to our Hemoglobin, which is the main component from human blood. Both of them consist of ring structure from Carbon and Nitrogen atoms that surround a single atom. The difference only lies on the main atom, that is Magnesium (Mg) in the plant's chlorophyll and iron (Fe) in the Hemoglobin [source: Green Nature, Human Nature: The Meaning of Plants in Our Lives by Charles A. Lewis].
Every plant has the ability to store the sun's energy, let's say: when we eat an apple, the sun's energy that is stored in the apple will naturally be transferred to our blood vessels. Plants also transform ourselves softly. When you are stressful, try to stroll in the park, garden or just sit down in your room by focusing intentionally to see the potted plants that is inside your room, while looking at the plants, take a deep inhale slowly until several times and at the same time be grateful to whatever you have already got in your life; one of the examples is: we are able to take breath containing Oxygen that comes from the plant you are looking at. Do it for some time until you see the changes and feel something diferent is happening inside yourself. Plants also teach us not to judge anything and anyone., either it is 'rich or 'poor', 'good', 'bad', 'old', 'young' or whether we are facing 'bad' day. Plants respond to love and passion. How about us?. The quantity and quality of feeling in the plants are very sensitive. If we use a measurement scale of 1 as the highest score, so 3/4 of a tree trunk will be its feeling. That's why when we love and give passion or attention to the plants more often by watering, fertilizing, or even talk to them patiently, the plants will bloom or produce more fruits with sweeter taste. Several surveys and studies by some biologists, chemists, and physicists have proved it. Unfortunately, not all people want to believe it!.
Can you guess what these are?
Recognize these all?
Look at the wonderful universe inside the Aquarium
Another universe's wonder inside the Aquarium
We are too busy with our own ego, we ignore our origin, and we are so busy with all activities that we consider it 'comfortable' for ourselves. We lose our care for natural environment, we even replace it with artificial things as well as instant things!.
There is something unique in the plants Kingdom. Not all plants can live and grow well inside the water and on the land. Spiritually, these kinds of plants come from higher level of spirituality. Why?, Is water not the source of life?. The plants that live inside the water continuously without decaying prove that they can adapt to other environment very well by implementing their flexibility and the dynamic of life at once. This is a lesson for us that if we are able to be flexible, then we shall easily adapt to any environment where we live.
The drawings on the lower left show nature scenery inside aquariums that might be useful for us as they freshen our heart, or to calm down our mind. These are the 3-dimension paintings or works of art that incorporate the ecology in harmonious way to achieve the balanced ecological system. It is popularly known as Aquascaping. There is of course a significant difference between the fresh water Aquascape and the sea water Aquascape. When we use the fresh water, the aquatic plants mostly have green colour with only limited ones that can have red colour. Green colour provides us cool and calm atmosphere which can reduce the tensions in our mind and our body. If we use sea water, we will find that there are so many bright and colourful corals, plants as well as the fish that can be so starked which can increase our emotional level. Just try to observe inside the fresh water Aquascape, you will see some fish of different shapes and colour, small shrimps and snails, they are all swimming from one point to other points enjoying their natural green environment in some kinds of forest consisting of several types of aquatic plants that also show their photosynthesis process in their leaves in air bubbles formation providing Oxygen to other living beings, with some stones formation and drift wood in between the plants and the stones. The crystal clear water provides the life for all the elements, they are parts of the universe and at the same time they are also the ecological system with all the balance.
We all should be aware that a balanced and sustainable environment will have great harmonious impact to every creation. Following is the Master's puzzle for us to ponder:
Puzzle
One day the Master asked his disciples a puzzle:
“What is the similarity of an artist, a painter, a musician and a mysticist?”
No one is able to answer it.
“They all are aware that the most beautiful expression does not come from the tongue,” said the Master.
1.3. Animal Kingdom
At higher level than the plants kingdom there is animal kingdom, which has physical condition comprises of more complex network of cells than the plants, followed by the ability to move from one place to other places or locations. Like the plants kingdom, the animal kingdom contains feeling and certain level of intellectuality. The characteristic of certain animal species is different, this is influenced by their environment where the animal lives, their feeding pattern is also different. There are the herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. Their role in the living ecological system is very great, their mobility has helped various mineral kindom and plants kingdom grow and develop in many parts of the world. When we observe more deeply, in the places where human does not live, the animals usually have their important role to harmonize the sustainable natural environment (just imagine this wonderful world!). Certain animals can also live side by side with human and work together with human in daily activities. Some certain animals have cells similar to human cells. A small portion of our brain is actually a formation of reptile's brain, this is shown by the top of our back bone which holds our head. That's why we still need animal's protein to fulfill the wellness of our brain. In one of National Geographic episodes titled: 'In the Womb', describes that almost 85% of human genes are monkey's genes and 1/3 of them comprises the genes from one of domesticated animals, while the remainder of human genes come from plants.
