Lessons Rooted in Nature
Dear Reader,
Welcome to our July edition! As many of us take a break or change our regular activities during the summer months, it is worth remembering that shifting our pace or engaging in new experiences can renew our energy and prepare us for fresh beginnings. Nature offers countless examples of these changes in rhythm—always moving, always evolving, yet never falling into inertia.
In this month’s feature article, we share a reflection on the wisdom nature offers and how Logosophy helps us perceive that wisdom with greater clarity. From the simple joy of planting a seed to the deeper understanding of life’s seasons, the article invites us to reconnect with what is essential and to recognize the inner world we are continually cultivating. May these reflections inspire you to observe nature with renewed attention and discover the lessons it strives to teach each of us.
Enjoy!
Nature, our First Teacher
Growing up, I often observed my father—a mechanical engineer by profession—devoting himself to gardening, farming, caring for animals, and many other activities connected to the land. These pursuits have always brought him deep joy and fulfillment. Yet, as I thought about his professional life designing and building complex ironmaking blast furnaces, I found myself puzzled: how could someone responsible for such large-scale engineering projects feel so fulfilled on his little ranch or in his backyard, surrounded by animals, plants, fruits, and vegetables?
One day, out of the blue, he asked me if I knew why he enjoyed gardening so much. He then explained that there was no greater pleasure than planting a seed, caring for it, watching it grow and transform into a new plant, and seeing its fruits feed many while also producing new seeds to continue their mission—extending that good as far as they could. As a teenager, I did not care much about that explanation at that particular moment in my life. Still, it somehow remained within me, perhaps like a seed itself, waiting for the right nutrients to awaken later on.
That awakening happened when I encountered Logosophy in my youth. The concepts Logosophy presented about life—and especially about my inner world, which until then felt like an abandoned terrain in need of care—began to remind me of many elements already present in nature.
The author of Logosophy frequently uses natural images and analogies to present elevated concepts about life, and these images have always resonated deeply within me. I wondered why this happened, and I came to think that they connected with elements already present inside me, since I, too, am part of nature.
When I began studying Logosophy, it was as if everything around me took on a different color and meaning. Things that once passed unnoticed, or did not invite further reflection, began to awaken new movements in my mind and sensibility. I started to observe that the universal thought and intelligence regulating all that exists strives to teach me important lessons through every process that takes place in nature.
For example, when I observe the changing seasons, I can connect them with the movements that take place within me. There are moments in life when I gather the knowledge I have been able to assimilate and put it into motion—expanding my abilities, exercising new aptitudes, and eventually harvesting the fruits of my efforts. These efforts move me forward; however, they cannot be sustained indefinitely. Energy must be renewed. A time comes when I need to reassess what has been done and prepare for the next phase. These are the autumns and winters of my life, when energy is conserved and there may be a sensation of immobility. Yet everything is still moving, only in a different way.
While working in my physical garden, I cultivate the thought of always advancing from one year to the next. I know there is knowledge I can acquire about techniques, plants, and how to care for them. At the same time, there are aspects I cannot control. I cannot control the weather, for example, but I can prepare for it and for certain climate conditions.
I observe that the same happens in my inner life. The law of evolution requires me to keep learning and advancing, putting into practice what I have learned in order to reach new heights. Still, many things remain outside my control. I should not worry about them, but I do need to prepare for what I can foresee. Being prepared helps me move through challenging times with greater serenity and resilience, knowing that I have done my part, and that such moments will eventually pass.
Over the years, Logosophy has been a source of essential and stimulating knowledge. It acts as an interpreter, connecting universal knowledge with the resources I possess and the movements that take place within me. Through my own effort to study and apply its teachings, I acquire a new pair of lenses through which to see the world from a different perspective. With each season, I feel I move further along in my own evolution.
When I observe the sun—with its power, light, and warmth, so essential to life on earth—I reflect on knowledge and on how limited life would be without it. This knowledge is present in every natural element, like a teacher patiently waiting for students to approach, observe, and listen.
Nowadays, so many artificial elements stand between us and nature that the image we see is often blurred and distorted by such interference. I feel grateful to have found a source of knowledge that helps me clear my lenses, move beyond these distractions, and connect with what is essential for life.
Nature has always inspired human beings, striving to teach us essential lessons. Everything we have created in physical terms has, in one way or another, been inspired by nature. Logosophy has helped make this connection more meaningful by allowing me to see that there is much to be learned and created within me, in a world that is not physical but is as real as the physical world. It is in this inner world that the future I want to live in must be planned and created, so that it may then be extended to those around me.
By Juliana de Mendonça
“You may have also observed another curious thing in Nature: there are trees that nourish with their roots the roots of other small trees, and there are amongst them those which absorb underground the life of other roots and dry them up. I hope you will be like the first ones and offer life to the small plants by showing them the roots of your knowledge, of your example and of your morals so that these small plants feed on this example, this knowledge and these morals and grow robust. Would you perhaps not enjoy this truth that will nourish later your old age?
One of the most sublime means to open one’s understanding to the purest truth is to offer to human possibilities the element capable of nourishing it and allowing it to create a new individuality.“
