Nature is the Creator, and the Creator is nature. They are one and the same. In Gematria, Elokim (God) and HaTeva (Nature) share the same numerical value (86) because they refer to the same upper governing force. If we enter into an equivalent relationship…
Relax and understand that you are inside nature, let it lead you, and most importantly, completely surrender yourself to it. Drop the oars. Whether there is a current or not does not matter. Let go of everything. It is possible…
Many insect species are declining, becoming endangered, or disappearing altogether. Scientists warn that this could lead to a catastrophic collapse, because insects are a crucial part of the planet’s balance. Without them, plants, animals, and humans all suffer. They say…
The force that drives us forward through evolution develops in us a desire to receive. To want more, to acquire, to understand, and to know. This is how we evolve from generation to generation, and year after year, i.e., through…

One of my students raised this question via the following quote by Stanislaw Jerzy Lec: “If an animal were to kill intentionally, it would have been a human act.” In other words, animals kill instinctively for the sake of fulfilling…
Humanity has a unique role in the natural world. Unlike other creatures, we have the capacity to complete the great big ecological sphere we are parts of. Yet, our current behavior disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem, creating harm…
In our times, humanity has drifted far from the natural balance that governs living systems. When a wolf hunts, it takes only what it needs to sustain itself. It does not hoard, exploit, or disrupt the delicate harmony of its…
