Children Being in the World

I ran into this beautiful film and deep concept today. I wanted to share it with you. I am so ingrained in modern, western culture that this is simple and intriguing and feels completely out of reach somehow.

 

Every living being posses existential biological knowledge, the knowledge of nature, the ability to sustain life. Every organism is born with it. The human organism differs from other organisms insofar as it has codified it’s complex language system into text. And with this tool he has effectively removed himself, lost himself in the maze, she has lost touch with her inner nature.  And is effectively in the process of destroying his host the earth.

 Every child is born with natural knowledge. Over and over again. The knowledge that reminds the human organism of its connection with nature.  Perhaps the knowledge that all living beings possess to lead a harmonious life.
