Wild Empath Chronicles – purpose

I read on many different sites the thoughts of man being his own god. Those that swear the light is the only way, say god resides in us, and there is no supreme being. We are all a part of a collective consciousness, one piece of a bigger picture. To keep the collective going we must help each other, draw all forces, to protect the small and weak. It is the destiny of the higher being to bring harmony to all, love and light to all mankind. They say this is their purpose, and they are a more enlightened human being, it is for the collective, not for the self. That we are not animals, but supreme beings, knowing of inner power and love.

There is another side to this as well. The side that says, we should follow nature’s rules, the strong survive to insure a stronger species of man. This side says that you are a god, a more selfish god, one that allows each person to be a sole entity to itself. To say there is no connection as a whole, and to tend only survive at the peril of others if necessary; to prey on the weak, to keep yourself strong.


The inherent issues with both ideals leave them doomed to failure. Even if just one of these ideals was upon the planet, they would not survive. Nature is much more complicated than that. Sure they don’t propagate weak species, but they also honor their instinctual nature.

In the wild very few animals are rouge, they need the herd to survive. The hierarchy is such that will benefit the group. In most cases the male is to protect the herd, at all costs. The instinct for self preservation is strong, but the need to keep “his” herd safe is stronger. The females are responsible for care and feeding the herd. They are the nurturers, the ones that keep the species alive. This is true in predator and prey.

In the predator it is the strongest, and most vicious that leads the group, male and female roles. They fight for the right to be at the top, prove their worth, through struggle, and until they can no longer hold their place. Then a new struggle, a new leader will be established. Wolves have families; the pack tends its own. They are not individuals, they are a unit.

In prey it is the smartest and the fastest in most cases. I have studied wild horses, an amazing culture. The stallions although quite vicious, will most times opt for flight to protect the herd. The difference in most prey is that there is only one male, the strongest to maintain a stronger herd. Herds are small design easier to manage, and to protect. And although the stallions fight for supremacy, the lead mare is seldom challenged until she is aged. It is an inherent trait that is passed on that gives her the greater ability to find food and water, to command respect with just a presence.

Neither can survive without the other. Without prey, the predators would perish, and with out predators the prey would over run the feeding grounds and would perish.

Same is true for people… only to think of it unto yourself. If you live solely for the greater good of man kind, the collective you go against the laws of nature, you open yourself up for the failure to protect yourself, and eventually you will no longer be able to survive in this world. Even if every human being opted against violence, nature isn’t that kind. If you live solely for the personal betterment of your life, there is no way you can be all things to yourself. People need people, for survival, for comfort,

In nature all things are balanced. When the balance is disrupted nature finds a way to bring it back to rights. Nature has no feeling on it one way or the other. All it wants is equal plus’s and equal minus. Down to the smallest electron, it is established such a way.

It doesn’t matter if you believe in a higher deity or not. Nature doesn’t care. If we are here to survive, we need to help each other but not be afraid to help ourselves as well. The whole system is set up with checks and balances; the intricacy of the big picture is too perfect for random chance. We are not gods; we are but pieces to the puzzle. We did not set up the system. In my own opinion a greater being did.

As far as people go, the higher being in my humble opinion is not the most giving or the most taking, but the most balanced. There is great freedom there.
