The provided text is an essay by Greg Twemlow titled "How I Discovered the Natural World is Our Divinity," published on Medium in October 2025. The author asserts that the natural world itself is the only divinity humanity will encounter, a truth instinctively understood by the Ancients but progressively obscured by Western philosophy. The essay structures its argument around the evolution of ethics, showing how Immanuel Kant replaced faith with abstract reason, Friedrich Nietzsche declared the resulting void after the death of God, and Albert Camus sought meaning through human solidarity ("horizontal ethics") without fully recovering the sacredness of nature. Twemlow argues that the contemporary moral project is "re-cognition," which means restoring coherence between human consciousness and the living intelligence of the Earth, transforming ethical thought from mastery and abstraction to reciprocity and care.
