nature has a mind of its own

As Máderáhttje’s (our inner father figure’s) influence on us wanes in its relation to our collective consciousness, nature in its separate parts appears in his place as substantial properties of what it is in itself, and in the interaction we have with elements of the psychic energy emanating from its inner self-regulating center which nature embodies when they appear and act as external qualities in our environment which reflect the background from which they emerge in their various guises. Inspiring, informative and helpful. As various sources of inspirational energy previously pent up in our inner father figure, but which have their true origin in the whole to which our individual psyche relates us. The first experience of this disintegration by him is a feeling of relief. Because our inner person is directly related to the experience of the converging center of information we find behind the experience of being in the inner calm the original wholeness gives us. Our outer person acts as his dark brother, defending him and directing the psychic energy back to its original source. Unless we identify with it. From an inner traditional perspective, inspiration is manifested with personal characteristics. As several independent characters with their own locations and tasks. Which must be treated with the same consideration and attention as everything else we are a living part of. Naturally self-inspecting. It is crucial for our relationship to our direct experience, to experiential knowledge and information. From them we are provided with guidance, with their inherent energy in their self-regulating order in relation to nature and its inner self-organizing structure in itself. They constitute a constantly learning relationship between us and all that surrounds us, in which we are forced to our second attention, to observe our sensations instead of identifying with them, and find the original substructure for our openness and inner wholeness and the life processes which involve us in our mental maturation along with them. In a traditional context they have received names as personal relationships to the unique experiences we have of them. As objective forces in a larger psychic context which we are part of from within they have contemporary terms without the experiences we get from them personally. Most often when someone tries to describe this relationship, it is done with gods, whatever that is, and with the mindset of the person who is trying to describe it in its personal relation to the sensations they have of them in a collective sense. Which has very little to do with the direct experience people make of this by living close to nature and each other. Not by having learned “objective terms” for our relations to ourselves, to our inner wholeness and its psychic relation to nature itself, in the self-inspecting life it implies in the relations we share with others there. It is the same spiritual inspiration we find manifested in our collective consciousness that we also find, in a traditional sense, everywhere in our natural surroundings. Just as our inner father figure, Máderáhttje, and Máttaráhkká’s influence on us is intermingled with and conceptualized in many different parts of the collective consciousness, hers as a vessel for his, but we experience his influence and inspiration also transmitted to many different places, and to many different psychic beings in them.
