Yet within that simplicity lay a depth not easily reduced to words. For five days and nights, we had lived in a world indifferent to human intention: beneath a sky stretching beyond comprehension, upon a soil that carried us without knowing us, surrounded by the sounds of birds, insects, and unseen animals. In such conditions, something happens to us\u2014something that cannot be forced, yet reveals itself when we become receptive to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nature as an Experience<br><\/strong>In these circumstances, an experience unfolds that resists precise articulation. Boundaries we ordinarily take for granted begin to dissolve: the separation between body and environment, between human and animal, between self and cosmos. A profound sense of connectedness arises\u2014an experience of unity in which Nature no longer stands opposite us, but reveals itself as something of which we ourselves are an expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Consciousness seems to expand, as though recalling a forgotten origin. We may believe we have entered Nature, yet in essence we are returning to that from which we have never truly been separated.<br>This experience\u2014and the remark about \u2018having a cup of tea with God\u2019\u2014 made me think of one of the most profound philosophal minds the Netherlands has ever brought forth: Baruch Spinoza (1632\u20131677).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Radical Simplicity of Spinoza<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Spinoza\u2019s life and thought form a remarkable synthesis of clarity and courage. Born in Amsterdam in 1632 into a prosperous Portuguese-Jewish family, he was raised within a religious community that initially shaped him but ultimately rejected him. His radical ideas about God and Scripture, far ahead of their time, brought him both recognition and condemnation. In 1656, he was excommunicated through the \u2018Cherem\u2019 for what were deemed \u2018abominable heresies\u2019. From that moment on, he was cut off from his community, even his family members were no longer allowed to have contact with him or support him in any way.<br>What followed was not a life of resistance, but of quiet perseverance. Spinoza accepted his fate, lived modestly, earned his living as a lens grinder\u2014among others for his friend Christiaan Huygens\u2014and devoted himself entirely to thought. In relative solitude, he developed a philosophy whose force has not diminished to this day. He successively resided in Rijnsburg, Voorburg, and The Hague. Though he struggled with his health, he pursued his thinking and writing with tireless dedication. During his lifetime\u2014and even more so thereafter\u2014he inspired a wide circle of admirers, including Leibniz, Johan de Witt, Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, Goethe, Nietzsche, Hegel, and Jung.<br>Albert Einstein, too, expressed his admiration, famously stating: \u201cI believe in God, the God of Spinoza.\u201d Spinoza passed away in 1677 at the age of forty-four, as a result of a pulmonary illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ETHICA: Spinoza\u2019s Masterwork<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Spinoza completed his most famous work, ETHICA, in 1675; it was published posthumously in 1678. In its very first chapter, he introduces an idea both simple and revolutionary: Deus sive Natura (God, or Nature).<br>With this formulation, Spinoza dissolves an ancient division. God is no longer a transcendent creator standing apart from the world. God is the world\u2014not as a collection of things, but as the infinite reality of which everything is a part. Everything that exists is an expression of one single substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>God as an All-Pervasive Natural Force<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Spinoza identifies God with Nature, and by \u2018Nature\u2019 he means not only trees, plants, and animals, but also humanity, the Earth, the planets\u2014the entire cosmos and the Laws of Nature that govern it. According to Spinoza, God is not a wise, moral, or majestic creator. Rather, God is an immanent, active force of Nature, \u2018causa sui\u2019\u2014the cause of itself. God is present in everything, has always been, and always will be.<br>This God is not distant, but omnipresent\u2014not a spectator, but an active, creative power.<br>What does this mean for us? It means that we are not separate beings living in a foreign world. We are not outsiders, nor accidental passers-by. We are part of Nature\u2014and thus part of God. Spinoza calls us \u2018modi\u2019: expressions of the one substance.<br>This ontological position has far-reaching implications. It reframes the human condition from one of separation to one of participation. The individual is not an isolated entity but a localized manifestation of a universal process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Wilderness as an Experience of Spinoza\u2019s Insight<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Could it be, I wondered, that this presence of Spinoza\u2019s God is felt in the wilderness\u2014when we experience unity, when Nature no longer stands apart from us but reveals itself as something of which we are an expression? Might it be that, in such moments, we truly \u201chave a cup of tea with God\u201d?<br>Perhaps so. For when we enter the wilderness\u2014placing our feet upon soil not shaped by us, yet sustaining us without intention\u2014we do not merely enter a landscape, but a reality that precedes and encompasses us. We think we enter Nature, yet in truth we return to what we have never left.<br>If Spinoza had walked beside us, he might have gently reminded us of a simple yet all-encompassing truth: we are modi, expressions of one and the same substance\u2014Deus sive Natura. This does not mean we dissolve into Nature, but that we recognize we have always been a form of it. As a wave is no other being than the sea, so we are no other being than Nature itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Participation Instead of Control<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>We are present\u2014not as isolated entities, but as part of a greater whole that sustains itself. Spinoza calls this self-sustaining reality \u2018causa sui\u2019: that which exists through itself.<br>God, or Nature, requires no cause beyond itself. It is its own ground. And because we are part of this Nature, we are expressions of the same force that brings all things into being.This insight can free us from a deeply rooted illusion\u2014that we stand apart from nature, that we must control or fear it.<br>On trail, we experience how little of that attitude remains. We cannot command the rain to cease, nor halt the coming of night. Yet this does not diminish us; rather, it brings a quiet sense of peace. What we lose is the illusion of control. What we gain is the awareness of participation.<br>When we would walk with Spinoza along a river, watching the light fracture upon the water, or hearing a bird call in the distance, something subtle begins to unfold. Not because these things exist for us, but because we begin to perceive without the habitual mediation of naming and possessing. We allow things to be what they are. And in that allowing, that letting go, Spinoza suggests, something essential occurs: we come to experience the source from which all things arise, and from which a quiet transformation within us begins to emerge.<br>We may feel small within such vastness. Yet Spinoza would gently correct us: small and great are merely relative notions\u2014no different from good and evil. In truth, we are no less necessary than the tree, the stone, or the passing cloud. Everything that exists follows from the nature of God with the same inevitability. We are neither lesser, nor greater\u2014we simply are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Encounter as Recognition<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Sometimes, in the wilderness, we meet an animal\u2014a rhinoceros, an elephant, an antelope. We look, and the animal looks back. There is no language, no agreement, no shared plan. And yet, there is recognition.<br>For Spinoza, this is no mystery in a supernatural sense. It is the most natural thing in the world. For if all things are expressions of the same substance, then every encounter is, in a sense, an encounter with ourselves\u2014not as individuals, but as expressions of the same life.<br>We sit alone for several hours, in silence, at a beautiful spot overlooking the river. We see, we listen, we feel. The wind moves through the leaves, and without our being able to precisely name it, our relationship to what surrounds us begins to shift. We are no longer mere observers. Yet neither are we dissolved.<br>We are present\u2014as part of a greater whole that brings itself into being and sustains itself. In such moments, Baruch seems to whisper to us: this is not a fleeting emotion, but a glimpse of insight\u2014a moment in which we do not merely understand the coherence of the whole, but feel it. We are a form through which Nature comes to experience itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Natura Naturans and Natura Naturata<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>As we walk, Spinoza might also tell us that he distinguishes between \u2018natura naturans\u2019 and \u2018natura naturata\u2019. The former refers to nature as the generative, creative force; the latter to nature as that which has been brought forth.<br>On the trail, we encounter both, even if we do not explicitly name them as such. When we observe the growth of plants, the movement of animals, the ceaseless play of light and shadow, we are witnessing \u2018natura naturata\u2019: the forms through which nature expresses itself. Yet when we allow ourselves to be touched by the sense that everything is in motion, that all things arise from one and the same source, we catch a glimpse of \u2018natura naturans\u2019: the living, creative force itself, in which we are wholly immersed.<br>In such moments, a sense of unity arises\u2014difficult to articulate, yet profoundly recognizable to those who have experienced it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Parallels to the Present<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Immanuel Kant, later in the 18th century, argued that we can never know the -thing-in-itself\u2019 (das Ding an sich). We know only how reality appears to us; its true nature remains veiled. In a way, this echoes Spinoza\u2019s notion of \u2018natura naturans\u2019\u2014the underlying creative ground of existence.<br>Recent developments in philosophy of mind have revived interest in non-reductive and non-dual ontologies. Approaches such as Analytic Idealism (Bernardo Kastrup, 2019) propose that onsciousness is the fundamental substrate of reality, with physical phenomena understood as its manifestations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>While historically distinct, such perspectives exhibit structural parallels with Spinoza\u2019s monism. His identification of thought and extension as attributes of a single substance anticipates contemporary efforts to overcome the dualism between mind and matter.<br>From this perspective, peak experiences \u2013 that sudden glimpse of unity, that profound intensity of presence \u2013 in the wilderness may be understood as temporary dissolutions of the boundaries separating individual consciousness from a larger whole\u2014like a wave returning to the sea. If Spinoza were alive today, he would undoubtedly look upon Idealism with great sympathy, recognizing in it profound affinities with his own philosophical vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Return<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Every trail ends. We return to the world of schedules and obligations. Yet something has shifted\u2014not because we have added something, but because we have let go something. We have glimpsed, maybe briefly, that we are not separate from Nature, but we are part of it. That we are not observers, but participants. That the \u201cself\u201d is not an island, but a wave in an endless sea. For a brief moment, we have glimpsed that another way of being is possible\u2014one less governed by control, and more attuned to connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wilderness as Teacher<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>The accounts of those who step into the wilderness reveal a striking commonality. They speak of being reborn, of rediscovering their deepest values, of a silence that both purifies and strengthens them. They learn to listen\u2014not only to nature and to others, but also to<br>themselves. In doing so, they rediscover a mode of presence that is so often lost in the rhythms of everyday life. This is not an escape from reality, but a deepening of it.<br>The wilderness becomes a teacher\u2014not by giving us something new, but by reminding us of what we had forgotten.<br>Thus, the wilderness reveals itself as a teacher of profound significance. It shows us that we are not separate from the world, but that we stand within it\u2014embedded and intrinsically connected. It confronts us with our illusions of separation and control, and opens us to a reality in which everything is interwoven with everything else. Those who allow themselves to be truly touched by Nature come to recognize that life is not a random convergence of blind forces, but a meaningful whole in which we belong. Or, in the words of Spinoza: we are part of a necessary and inevitable whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion: The Simplicity of What Always Was<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Wilderness immersion, by reducing the mediating structures of everyday life, may facilitate experiential states that resonate with this philosophical insight. While these states do not provide direct access to \u2018natura naturans\u2019, they may offer a phenomenological approximation of the unity that Spinoza describes.<br>Had Spinoza walked beside us, he might have said very little. No grand gestures, no lofty language. He would simply have pointed to what has always been.<br><br>And perhaps we would then understand that the phrase \u201cI had a cup of tea with God\u201d is not an exaggeration, but an attempt to express something that ultimately transcends language.<br><br>That we are, in all our forms and thoughts, part of one and the same reality. That we have never truly been separate. That God or Nature, Deus sive Natura, is not elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here.<br>Always.<br>And in everything.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-en","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>On a Wilderness Trail with Baruch Spinoza - Dr. Boy van Droffelaar - Foundation for Natural Leadership<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Leon brings extensive experience as an entrepreneur and marketer.
