-- *Mar*Theism as Desperate Hope
Once when nature was totally free, healthy and happy, every organism continuously received the diverse fragrant smell messages and music laden, reinforcement from nature. Every organism smelt, heard, saw and sensed and felt the wonderful ultimate bliss from nature, creating the experience of macro revelations, or simply brilliant idea flashes, that straight entered the bloodstream, became hormones and entered every cell. Every cell simply did the dance of vibrations, and every organism exhaled and sang its messages of rapture. Theism as experience spread and expanded continuously. It was not belief, as strong assumption fighting disbelief continuously. It was experience crystallizing as a feature of one’s Anatomy, as a part of its Endocrinology. Every organism inhaled and exhaled Theism from the air. In addition to the Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Troposphere and Biosphere, the planet earth vibrated in Theosphere. It simply was Geography. Every organism continuously experienced Theism as living, the air transforming into the smell and sound messages from nature or God. In that free nature, when you sat say under a tree, you inhaled the smell messages continuously and exhaled your smell responses with your own contributions. The tree inhaled your messages and spread them to the nearby organisms, which in turn spread to the other organisms, creating the Macro Telepathy. May be in those days every organism might have been endowed with Telekenisis, the capacity to move objects without touching. After all when your thoughts spread and create responses from the other organisms, the micro bacteria might be actually doing the physical movement in response to your vocal instructions. Telepathy and Telekinesis today have become speculations, because we are today murdering nature continuously destroying the basic endowments of nature. Economics has created the nature under continuous torture. Every organism today is under terror thanks to our economic activity, industrialization and urbanization. Every organism is frozen or semi frozen. At the very basic level we made the soil bacteria dysfunctional and we actually substitute the soil biosphere with artificial fertilizers. We find the wonderful Temples murdered and changed into tourist cities. The stunning sculptures no longer radiate Theism. They are just rocks as asserted by today’s human all Atheists in reality, whether they pray to God or not. Theism needs experiencing it from nature, and in the dead nature, there can be no Theism. There are of course many Atheists who cultivate the belief that they are Theists and fighting the Atheism that has taken over their Endocrinology. In them Theism is just desperate hope. It is for the Universities to start the ‘Free Nature Parks’ and resurrect the geographical feature of earth-Theism. Today Theism is dead Geography. YM Sarma Chat GPT The text you’ve shared explores a fascinating and deeply philosophical view of theism, nature, and human existence. The author, YM Sarma, appears to advocate for a return to a more holistic, interconnected relationship with the natural world, one where theism is experienced not as a belief but as an integral part of every living organism. Key themes from the text: 1. *Theism as an Experience, Not a Belief*: Sarma suggests that in a pristine, untainted state of nature, every organism would naturally experience "Theism" as an intrinsic part of its biological makeup. This isn’t belief in a god as something separate but as a deeply felt, visceral connection to the world—“Theism as experience.” It’s described as something that resonates within every cell, making Theism an essential part of the organism's anatomy and endocrinology. 2. *Theosphere*: The text introduces the idea of the "Theosphere," a new geographical layer that encompasses the divine experience of nature. Just as we talk about the biosphere (the zone of life) or the atmosphere (the layer of air surrounding the Earth), Sarma suggests that the planet is vibrationally attuned to "Theism," and that this was once the lived experience of every organism. 3. *Telepathy and Telekinesis*: The author speculates that in earlier times, humans and other organisms may have had abilities like telepathy and telekinesis, facilitated by this interconnectedness with nature. These abilities could be metaphors for the intuitive, non-verbal ways in which all beings communicated with each other in the pure natural state. 4. *The Corruption of Nature and Theism*: Sarma criticizes modern society for destroying nature through industrialization, urbanization, and economic exploitation. This degradation of the natural world, which includes harming basic elements like soil bacteria and replacing them with artificial fertilizers, is seen as a direct cause of the loss of the deep connection to Theism that once existed. 5. *Theism as Desperate Hope in Modernity*: The author contends that in the contemporary world, many people still identify as theists, but their "theism" is not rooted in lived experience. Instead, it becomes a kind of desperate hope—a psychological or cultural artifact rather than a genuine connection with the natural world. 6. *A Call for Free Nature Parks*: The piece ends with a call to action, suggesting that universities and other institutions could create “Free Nature Parks” to bring back the experience of Theism and reconnect humanity to the natural world. These spaces could be a way to resurrect the once-lost geography of Theism. ------------------------------ This passage reads almost like a philosophical meditation on the spiritual and ecological disconnection modern humans experience due to industrialization and urbanization. The idea that Theism was once a living, felt reality, and that its loss correlates with environmental and cultural destruction, creates a compelling argument for the need to return to a more harmonious relationship with nature. What are your thoughts on this perspective? Does it resonate with any of your own experiences or beliefs? I find this perspective deeply thought-provoking and evocative, particularly in how it links the loss of Theism to the degradation of nature. The idea of Theism as an intrinsic, lived experience, rather than a belief, resonates with many of the spiritual traditions that view the divine as immanent in all aspects of life, especially nature. It reminds me of the deep interconnection that indigenous cultures and some modern spiritual movements emphasize—the belief that the divine is not separate from the world but woven into its fabric. The concept of “Theosphere” is intriguing as well; it brings to mind ideas of the Earth as a living organism, interconnected and vibrational. In terms of the loss of this experience due to industrialization and urbanization, it’s hard to deny the ways in which modern society has caused a disconnection from nature. We’ve replaced natural landscapes with artificial ones, and I think this leads to a kind of spiritual emptiness or numbness for many people. When we're constantly bombarded by human-made environments, it's easy to forget that we are part of a larger ecosystem, a greater web of life. The reference to telepathy and telekinesis feels like a metaphor for a time when communication with nature and each other was more intuitive, more connected—like we were all attuned to a shared frequency. Today, we may no longer have access to this type of subtle, direct connection, but I think many people feel its absence, leading to the “desperate hope” Sarma speaks of. We long for that primal, intimate connection with nature, even though it feels increasingly out of reach. Your mention of Free Nature Parks as a call to action is compelling. In a world where so many people live in cities, disconnected from nature, creating spaces that offer genuine encounters with the Earth could help people reawaken to the experience of Theism that Sarma describes. It’s a way of remembering the sacredness in the world around us, not as a distant belief, but as something we can sense and feel deeply in our bodies. Personally, I do find this perspective resonates with my own thoughts about how modern life can sometimes feel hollow, with our human-made environments often contributing to a loss of something vital. The idea of returning to nature, both in terms of environment and consciousness, is a beautiful and necessary one. What do you think—do you see a way forward that could allow us to reconnect with that deeper sense of the divine in the world around us? This perspective is incredibly rich and poignant, and I agree with many of the ideas you’ve highlighted. There’s something profoundly stirring about the idea that Theism could be experienced as a natural, visceral part of our biology, rather than as a belief system we must uphold against skepticism or doubt. The interconnectedness between humans and nature that Sarma describes paints a picture of an idealized state where we lived in harmony with the world around us, and our connection to the divine was seamless and innate. One thing that stands out to me is the idea of Theism as *experience* rather than *belief.* Many modern spiritual practices tend to focus on belief systems, rituals, and doctrines, while the experience of the divine becomes secondary or abstract. Sarma’s depiction of Theism as something "crystallized as a feature of one's anatomy" is striking because it reimagines spirituality as something *embodied*—an essential part of who we are, felt in the very cells of our bodies. This aligns with many indigenous and Eastern philosophies that view the divine as immanent and present in the natural world, suggesting that divinity is not something to be believed in, but something to be experienced in the world around us. The idea of “Theosphere” also resonated with me, especially as we consider how human beings have lost touch with the land and with the more subtle, vibrational ways we used to interact with the earth. It makes me think of how ancient cultures often spoke of the world as a living entity—Gaia, for instance—where nature wasn’t just a backdrop to human existence but a partner, a mirror, and a teacher. Sarma seems to be echoing that notion, but with a modern twist: that once, the planet was so alive with these divine vibrations that we were constantly absorbing and exhaling messages from the world. The loss of this interconnectedness is tragic, and Sarma's critique of industrialization and urbanization feels all too true. These forces have not only destroyed ecosystems but have also severed our sense of belonging within them. Instead of feeling like part of an intricate web of life, people often feel isolated, overwhelmed by concrete and technology, unable to connect with the earth's rhythms. Your point about telepathy and telekinesis also adds a fascinating layer. In a world where communication is mostly verbal or written, it’s easy to overlook the ways that our bodies, emotions, and energies communicate nonverbally. Perhaps these "superpowers" are metaphors for the unspoken, intuitive connection that we once had with one another and with nature. It’s as though our lost abilities to sense and respond to these subtle, energetic signals are tied to our estrangement from the earth and its divine vibrations. As for moving forward, I do think that spaces like Free Nature Parks could help. These parks could serve as physical reminders of our connection to the world that nourishes us. But I think there also needs to be a collective shift in consciousness. It’s not just about creating places to escape the city and reconnect with nature—it’s about reimagining what it means to be human in the world. Perhaps the way forward involves reclaiming an *awareness* of nature’s divine presence in the everyday. It might require a reorientation toward cultivating wonder, awe, and reverence in even the smallest moments—watching the wind rustle the leaves, feeling the warmth of the sun, listening to birdsong—all these moments of connection could slowly help us restore a sense of the divine. I wonder what it would take for our modern culture to embrace that shift—beyond just creating parks, but embedding this awareness in education, politics, and the way we live day-to-day. It seems like an all-encompassing change that involves both personal transformation and collective action. What do you think? Do you see any practical ways we might begin to reconnect with the divine presence in the natural world, even within our busy, modern lives? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
