We are realigning our perception of nature’s order and function for our evolution to one that honors unity, balance, and cooperation.

What is symbiosis?

Symbiosis is a type of close and long-lasting interaction between two biological organisms.

Symbsiosis is not relevant to "predator-prey" models, carnivores, herbavores, omnivores, or "what-eats-what." Rather, symbiosis focuses solely on behaviors and relationships between orgnaisms without factoring in the food-chain interactions.

Within the physical world, biologically speaking, there exists four main types of behavioral patterns that characterize symbiosis:

  1. Parasitism : One species benefits while the other species is harmed from the interaction (i.e. mosquitos sucking blood).
  2. Commensalism : One species benefits while the other species is neither benefited nor harmed from the interaction (i.e. Spiders making webs on top of plants).
  3. Mutualism : Both species benefit from the interaction (i.e. in pollination plants benefit through fertilization while bees and butterflies receive food source).
  4. Altruism : Much more common in humans, but still a behavior that can also be found within other animals, this is an interaction where one organism does something for another organism's benefit while appearing to receive no benefit themselves. This is different from commensalism where an organism does something to, rather than for, another organism. Altruism is more active than passive.

How does symbiosis apply to Natural Law?

For non-human animals , their behavior is NOT bound by Natural Law, because they do NOT have the capability of understanding the difference between right and wrong behavior. Therefore, Natural Law does NOT govern the consequences of their behavior. While animals conduct conscious behaviors, they are more guided by instinct and genetic disposition than us humans are.

Humans , however, have a more-developed brain and DO have the capability of understanding the difference between right and wrong behavior. Because of this, we ARE bound by Natural Law and DO receive consequences for our behavior.

The second principle of Natural Law is the Law of Correspondence , which can be summarized as "As above, so below." Therefore, the three behavioral patterns (Commensalism, Parasitism, and Mutualism) embedded within the animal kingdom are also embedded within our own consciousness .

The only difference between human behavior and non-human animal behavior is that Love and Fear manifest through human behavioral patterns in a more profound way, resulting in a reflection of specific outcomes in human society.

While Commensalism within the animal kingdom is a matter of survival , this manifests within human consciousness as selfishness and greed ; while Parasitism within the animal kingdom is a matter of harsh aspects of nature , this manifests within human consciousness as government and immorality ; while Mutualism within the animal kingdom is a matter of increasing a species' fitness to its environment , this manifests within human consciousness as LOVE .

Evolving Towards Altruism

Aligning our behaviors with Altruism ultimately aligns ourselves with Natural Law , giving us maximum evolutionary support for our individual and collective wellbeing.

The NEW humanity is choosing to honor cooperation , selflessness , and all other virtues that are based out of LOVE .

Nature is resplendant with examples of Mutualism--and Altruism if looked at even closer--and our goal is to highlight them to shift humanity's perception of what human society can and should be .
