Processed or Natural!

Biggest question of our times! Well answer is simple, processed of course! We are deeply conditioned over 2000 years! Its going to be very hard to unite with natural.

Senses, energy will eventually will......our door to survive the disaster of processed world! Do we have any examples of any society which dealt with nature inclusively? Yeps, all the tribes of the world were extraordinary communities co existing with nature! Early vedic communities with Brindavans and Ashrams were quite matured to deal with nature. Modern thinking do not seem to match up at all! Science and technology nor modern economics will not lead us towards a hope of "co-existence". Wiser to look within ourselves than look out for answers? :-)
