GOD AND NATURE

"The ancients learned much about God and spirituality through nature. It was their Bible, so to speak. However, through the process of time, people began to focus more on the material aspects of nature rather than the spiritual life that is reflected within it. People ceased to see the reflection of God in nature and so lost a connection with him. This connection can be reestablished, and the Creator can be seen once again, through al of creation."- Emanuel Swedenborg
