In a word: yes.
The ecological system of nature is an entropic cycle of construction/destruction—life, death, life, death—moving slowly toward eventual demise. If humans want to live forever, which seems to be a desire for most of them, then there’s a problem. Nature would definitely then be an enemy, because nature clearly expects us to eventually die.
In another word: no.
Nature wants its creation to thrive. This can be seen from the simplest forms to most developed and complex forms. Nature is, at its foundation, a mother, a nurturer. She may seem cruel with destruction as her highest priority, but her true essence is love and the expression of beauty.
As such, everything in nature is made for a specific function and process. A certain creature may live for a very short time, and seemingly only exists to feed others. Although this indeed may be its sole function and purpose, it still has a function and purpose that fits into the scheme of things. Nature is kind in its support of the procreation of this lowly creature, and provides it with the miracle of life in order for it to succeed in its divine purpose.
We are the same, only a bit more complicated.
There has been much written throughout human history pertaining to the benevolence of nature toward humankind as well as its wickedness. For one example, Baruch Spinoza, a prominent philosopher of the 17th century, viewed nature as an expression of God or the divine. He saw nature as a self-sufficient and infinite entity, embodying both material and spiritual dimensions. For Spinoza, nature operated through a series of interconnected and deterministic laws, guided by rationality. He emphasized that human beings are not separate from nature but rather a part of it, intricately linked to the larger fabric of existence.
Nature's benevolence towards human beings manifests in various forms. Firstly, it provides us with sustenance in the form of food, water, and resources necessary for survival. The diverse ecosystems on Earth sustain and nourish us, offering an abundant array of fruits, vegetables, grains, and other vital resources.
Secondly, nature offers solace and healing. Numerous studies have shown the positive impact of spending time in nature on mental and physical well-being. Immersion in natural environments reduces stress, improves mood, enhances cognitive function, and boosts overall health. From the calming sound of waves to the vibrant hues of a sunset, nature has a remarkable ability to restore and rejuvenate.
Furthermore, nature invites us to witness its breathtaking beauty, inspiring creativity and awe. From majestic mountains to intricate flowers, from mighty oceans to serene forests, nature's aesthetic appeal captivates our senses and stimulates our imaginations. It has inspired artists, writers, and poets for centuries, evoking a sense of wonder and a deep connection to the world around us.
All that being said, it seems that man has been in a rather continuous war with nature. This perspective has often manifested in the exploitation and degradation of natural resources. The belief that humans have dominion over nature, as stated in some interpretations of religious texts, has been misused to justify unsustainable practices, deforestation, pollution, and the reckless pursuit of economic gain without considering the long-term consequences for the environment.
It is no wonder that we may feel nature is out to get us. Some may see our disrespect for nature as a whole to be a form of human bullying and as such, nature would be out for revenge and restitution. You can’t fool (and thus hurt) Mother Nature, and if you do, you’ll pay.
Needless to say if this is true we have set ourselves up for some major retaliation. Then why not believe that it is just a matter of time before nature decides to rid itself of us with some God-awful pathogen? If we fear nature, then we will arrogantly do whatever we can to battle her, even if it means compromising our own health. I mean, how can we trust nature to do what is right by us? We are her enemy, she must certainly see that, and as such, she is our enemy as well.
Couple all this up with our general insistence that we are not part of God’s plan because, for one thing, there is no God, and if there was one, the first thing we would sensibly do is try to kill Him, and then replace Him with ourselves. Isn’t that essentially what we have been leading up to for centuries? And only now does this act seem fully plausible, considering how advanced technology has gotten. We certainly have the means to carry this “transhumanist” agenda out to its obvious conclusion. Of course most of us do not “think” this way, meaning we are blindsided into believing it without having to “think” about it. Who is doing the blindsiding? Take a good guess—“they,” of course, have the most to gain. If there ever is a technological advance that allows us to live forever, you can be pretty certain that you and I, the useless eaters, will not have access to such technology. Our new God will not allow it.
The elitist culture, in their efforts to minimize the rest of us into terrified little maggots, will tell us we can live forever, and we don’t have to suffer, or be unhappy. They tell us that nature is indeed out to get us and that they will save us from her evils with their medicines, vaccines, masks, and technological wonders. They tell us the air is poison and filled with tiny creatures hell bent on killing us, they tell us that hugging one another, and gathering with others, and spending time in the presence of other human beings will kill us and make us suffer.
They tell us to ignore the real killers, the fluoride, the chemtrails, the GMOs, the glyphosate, the mRNA spike proteins, the nanoparticles, and the fear that destroys our psychic immune systems that protects us from the toxins of stress and anxiety and despair. Nature is indeed our enemy, if you listen to the bullies, the ones who want to be the new God in the New World Order. This is what you will hear as they march us to our death.
Nature is our mother. She does not promise us lies. She tells us as creatures made in God’s image our bodies will one day die. She tells us that we also will suffer, but if we follow her guidelines, our suffering will be minimal. She tells us that all that we endure, as fragile and delicate creatures, is designed to make us appreciate the life and limited time that we do have, to appreciate the natural joys we have ahead of us in our divine existence. The material parts of us will become mangled, old, and dysfunctional and will eventually cease to be a vessel for our spirit and soul. But the spirit and soul within us will not die, but instead, will live forever into eternity.
A few time ago I've made this one...

The number of umans that do want to live forever is very limited... It includes the Secular Ruling Families members and the Billionaires and Millionaires. All the rest don't even dream about that!
T.H. I have long been thinking of reading Spinoza, but I don't know where to begin. Can you make a recommendation? And more thanks for more truly well-fleshed perspectives. We have been entrained to reject and kill ourselves -- to fight against the environments that nourish us, the bodies that support us, and the spirit wisdom that guides us!
