Dont you think we can just live off nature?

this is just an example like he gave us things we need like a rooster is are alarm clock





can anygive other examples?Dont you think we can just live off nature?
leaves are the toilet paper


the sun is our lightDont you think we can just live off nature?
in present times, i think not.
Not everyone, only a few. Most people have become FAR too reliant on petty conveniences and technology now. I've seen people flip out because they weren't allowed to use their cell phone for 8 hours at work. There's no way people like that could survive out in the rough





A few could though. specifically the dreaded ';greenie environmentalists'; That everyone hates for some odd reason. Naturalists know how to survive and build and use ingenuity.





Here's the kicker though, most of the people that would prefer to live off the land, would have to go back to hunting animals to survive
It would not be possible for today's humans to live off nature there are way to Many people and if we did not have the Agra companies that we all love to hate most of the humans on the planet would die. It would be afield day for the vultures and and animal or insect that would eat meat would. Those populations could grow to become a threat to the rest of the humans that lived. Yes we could live off nature but not like we do now.

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”





The house is built utilizing natures natural elements, in the shape of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most efficient design). Woodburning stoves, solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet.





We also built many green small cabins on the ranch that we offer to family, friends and our on-site off-grid workshop guests, including one straw bale, one papercrete, earth bag and adobe, one cob and cordwood, one underground and rammed earth, one log and post and beam and one rock. Each one actually started as a test for what the main house would be and were later finished and turned into guest cabins. I later wrote a guide on how to build with alternative materials using alternative methods for next to nothing.





We raise meat and milk goats, chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for meat and eggs, trap havilina (wild boar pig), rabbit, quail. brew our own beer from home grown products, preserve our fruits, vegetables, etc. smoke and jerky the meat, make our own soap, cheese.





There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

I think that if it was a law or something... people COULD survive, but there will always be the people who don't want to go along with the crowd... I simply think that, looking at history, thinks change, and, overall, people kind of like change. I guess... but again, there will always be the people who don't want to go along with the crowd. Period.

Sure if we just all ate berries and dance around the bonfire


people would grow closer and cows could roam free
If I lived in Tahiti......maybe. If I lived where I do now in up-state Naw Yawk.....Not so easy....Gotta kill deer,rabbit,beaver and muskrat. Skin 'em. Then dry the meat for food . All that being no easy task. Tan the hides while keeping the hairs on the pelts . Plus make leather for pants , shirt and moccasins. All this while trying to build shelter. You shure about this ? It is an easy way to die.....especially if it happens to be Winter ..... . I'd say , stick to the Malls and Super Markets , buy wisely , Very few of the ';we'; you mention , would last a week if they had to go 'Survival off the wild' mode. Nature does NOT surrender survival easily.....

Who is that animal that which is unicellular in nature but needs to work in group fot the living.?

Coral.Who is that animal that which is unicellular in nature but needs to work in group fot the living.?
i dont know the answer sorry, buy coral isnt a unicellular organism..Who is that animal that which is unicellular in nature but needs to work in group fot the living.?
You are thinking of slime molds (moulds)
amoeba is the only unicellular
the social amoeba perhaps? Dictyostelium discoideum. the really weird one which exists as a single cell organism until it gets together with a whole bunch of other ones to make a fruiting body with a stalk and spores on the top? i couldnt find a proper movie of it doing its thing, but theres some pictures here ---%26gt;
I only know of unicellular organism that requires other stuffs such as decayed material to survive. Would you consider Euglena as an answer?

How the heart is beating by nature?Do every living beings have current in their body?

The rhythmic sequence of contractions is coordinated by the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes. The sinoatrial node, often known as the cardiac pacemaker, is located in the upper wall of the right atrium and is responsible for the wave of electrical stimulation (See action potential) that initiates atria contraction. Once the wave reaches the atrioventricular node, situated in the lower right atrium, it is conducted through the bundles of His and causes contraction of the ventricles.








Yes, even down to individual cells create their own engery and waste.How the heart is beating by nature?Do every living beings have current in their body?
Yes, generated by their own body. The cardiac cells are capable of generation an electrical current.How the heart is beating by nature?Do every living beings have current in their body?
Every Living Being generate


current. The same can be measured


with a 6 1/2 digit Digital Multimeter. The


current will be shown in Milivolt ampere


reading.





This is because of the static charges


created in the body, because of the mo-


vements of various parts, including


the heart.





Take the two probes, wet the skin


of the body and you can see the reading


yourself after touching.
There are a few groups of cell in your heart called Pacemaker Cells. These cells' only job is to contract every so often. In that contraction, the electrical current in and around the cell changes for an instant. The cells ajacent to them detect the electrical changes, causing them to beat as well, creating a domino-like effect.


Cardiology is a facinating subject, but what I've told you is only the begining. There is so much the heart can do, and so much that can go wrong. By the way, when you shick someone (called defibrilation) you are actually stoppign the heart, not starting it.

What religions do meditations, try to be one with nature, and focus on living in the present?

any feedback would be greatly appreciatedWhat religions do meditations, try to be one with nature, and focus on living in the present?
You don't need a religion to specifically do that. There are people without organized religious affiliation (and even atheists) who do the same thing.





Meditation is simply learning to live in the moment, when nothing distracts you and when you are not tied to the past or anxious about the future. In meditation you become peacefully aware of your real self. The more you use it, the more aware you become. When you learn to live life for each moment, to enjoy and appreciate life to the fullest at that moment, you suddenly become impervious to the myraid of doubts and fears that you've lived with all your life.





While there are many folks that seem to believe their particular mantra has ';magical power';, it really is the mindfulness that matters. The mantra is just one of the vehicles you can use to get there.





I developed a simple nonsectarian practice, but my background is in Buddhism - specifically Jodo Shinshu (aka Shin) Buddhism, Nichiren Buddhism, and the nonsectarian teachings of the Bright Dawn Institute (aka Kubose Dharma Legacy).





Here is the simple, yet potent, meditation technique that I use with some recommended resources as well. Specific posture does not matter. If you are uncomfortable sitting on the floor, you can sit on a chair with feet flat on the floor.





Since I have medical issues, I do a simple form of secular mindfulness meditation to relieve stress and anxiety. This helps to reduce high blood pressure and the frequency of headaches. It is a practice recommended by my primary licensed physician and is not encumbered by any superstitious nonsense.





I have actually studied a wide variety of religions and paths. Being more musically inclined, I was initially attracted to the practices of Jodo Shinshu (aka Shin Buddhism) and Nichiren Buddhism - with the combination of chanting a rhythmic phrase (Nembutsu or Odaimoku) and/or sutra recitation to a visual object (a scroll of Amida or a Gohonzon). This is a more active form of meditation as compared to the silent form (see below for that). So I decided to create a nonsectarian alternative in that vein. One practice that I find helpful in the vein of the Way of Oneness (the realization of interdependence) is to chant “Be One, Be Peace” in a position of gassho (palms together in front of chest with fingers pointing upward - a traditional gesture of respect) to an object such as a Dharma Wheel or a drawing of enso (a circle) as used in Zen. Five minutes of this every morning before work does wonders for my blood pressure and stress level.





You are more than welcome to use the chant if you think you may find it possibly useful.





I use two forms: “Be One. Be Peace.” for those who prefer a four syllable “mantra” like “Namandabu.” Or “Be One. Be Love. Be Peace.” for those who prefer the pace of a six syllable “mantra” like “Nam(u) Myo-ho Ren-Ge Kyo” or “Na-Mu A-Mi-da Butsu.” People who like (or are drawn) to chant are attracted to the rhythm.





For me, the purpose of any practice is to encourage self-reflection, internalizing this awareness , and wonder/gratitude/awareness of the interdependent forces of the Universe (Dharmakaya - in Shin this is symbolized as Amida Buddha which allows practitioners to perceive these forces as “compassionate” and “caring” thus allowing us to relate to them easier, or as the Gohonzon in Nichiren Buddhism which is a calligraphic representation of the “Ceremony in the Air” from the Lotus Sutra which is also a representation of the interdependent forces of the Universe).





There are a couple of simple techniques for silent meditation as well. You do not have to sit on the floor. You can sit with erect back on a chair. Many people say try for 15 minutes twice a day. I say start with a simpler goal - 5 minutes twice per day. The benefits include stress management and relaxation benefits which help the body, increased mindfulness and focus, and increased energy. The mindfulness can be a benefit to your spiritual life, but meditation also has ';non-spiritual'; benefits. Here are two easy techniques:





Breathing meditation - 1) Check posture. 2) Close your eyes and relax. 3) Focus on your breath entering and leaving your body. 4) Count breaths mentally one to four. Repeat. 5) Don't fight a wandering mind, but calmly direct it back to task. 6) Sit for a minute afterwards.





';Mantra'; technique (choose a personal ';calm'; word or phrase that you will repeat in your meditation - it can be from your religion or something as simple as ';one'; or ';calm'; – I use the nonsectarian “Be One. Be Peace” or “Be One. Be Love. Be Peace.”) - 1) and 2) as above in the Breathing meditation. 3) Listen to your breathing and let it relax you with each breath. 4) Once you are relaxed, mentally ';hear'; your ';calm'; word or phrase in your mind. Let it repeat in your mind. 5) Don't fight a wandering mind, but calmly direct it back to task. 6) Sit for a minute afterwards.





That is all there is to these very simple but beneficial meditation techniques. Many people think that something ';mystical'; should happen during meditation. Most often ';nothing'; happens and ';nothing'; should be expected.





Oh yes, and it didn't cost me anything to learn nor were there any ';initiations'; involved.





Some good resources on ';secular'; meditation are ';The Calm Technique'; by Paul Wilson as well as ';The Relaxation Response'; by Herbert Benson. If you need more formal ';assistance'; or ';training'; then I would look into Natural Stress Relief which was founded by former Transcendental Meditation instructors upset at the rising cost and ongoing superstition associated with TM. They charge $47 for their training compared with the $2,500 that TM would charge you.

Also look at these websites on Buddhism on the nonsectarian Bright Dawn teachings which have a heritage of Shin and Zen Buddhism:

http://www.heartlandsangha.orgWhat religions do meditations, try to be one with nature, and focus on living in the present?
Wicca- demon worship.
Navajo Indians for one, other tribes too, they believe you take care of nature and your surroundings you take care of yourself, destroy this and you destroy yourself....hummm looks like a whole bunch of society's haven't figured this out yet...
Buddhism, Taoism, spiritualism(native)





If you go back and see what the true Native American way was, it was to love mother earth and respect her and all living things. Only take what is needed from her and thank her for it.


And give back something in the thanks.
You could make up your own. Or Zen Buddhism would be the way to go, and avoid all of the god nonsense.
Original Christianity which exists today not so much as a religion though. Buddhism is similar. Where God had a fragment of evil, it was NOT Him...so His Son had with his religion or Teachings-the spawnings of 'Christianity'; all are not His. The Son is Heart, so, supposed to be. love. I can only WISH recipients here have love present thereof; the religion was add-ons to bear the connections with Father(s). To be wise with love, and share it. Handle the resistors, whatever. The Earth reality 'knew' Jesus as it was His Mother; what a nice Oneness with Nature that IS...





And Mothers' views with such question need to be re-respected, as if the Apostles didn't fully let Her have a book in the Bible, k?





Inner Awareness is normal,...and sometimes takes extra time or effort, so: meditation. Modern terms of this include 'Running Energy', making sure we find not only Father within and this heaven, but Mother and hers.





As I notice someone mentioning Native Indians here, o yes! these be love too and wean much respect in their Ways' developments; certainly good Family to Heart.





Thanks,


Scott

Most eastern religions fit your category.
Meditation is practiced by the monastics of most religions (including Christian).

Born and raised in New York.Have a home in the mountains also.It's wonderful to leave that hussell and bussel.New Yorkers!Wondering if anyone of you like to live in nature's beautiful places?
One of the best things about living in NYC is that we are so close to many of nature's beautiful places!





It is just a short car/train ride to the beaches of New Jersey or Long Island, up to the Catskill or Adirondak mountains, west to the Pennsylvania countryside...etc.





A little farther and there is Cape Cod, skiing in Vermont, camping around the Delaware Water Gap.








It's like having the best of both worlds!
Sure. I've visited most U.S. National Parks in my childhood, and I love to visit the Austrian Alps.

Is love nature's way of giving or is it man's way of living?

it's fairly difficult to argue against love being a many-splendored thing. as the song goes, it's the april rose that only grows in the early spring. it is nature's way of giving and a reason to be living. it's that golden crown that makes a man a king. enough said.Is love nature's way of giving or is it man's way of living?
thanks, nancy Report Abuse
