## What is the Natural Way? > “But ask the animals, now, and they will teach you; > the birds of the sky, and they will tell you. > Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. > The fish of the sea will declare to you. > Who doesn’t know that in all these, > Yahweh’s hand has done this, > in whose hand is the life of every living thing, > and the breath of all mankind? — Job 12:7-10 The Natural Way follows the green ray. The Green Ray is our experience and practice of and in Nature corresponding to the path on the Tree of Life from [[10- Malkuth|Malkuth]] (the kingdom) to [[7- Netzach|Netzach]] (Victory), which is on the Pillar of Mercy or Energy. This is the path of empathy where we encounter the spirits of land and nature, the fae, and what could be called the natural intelligences. This is the path of Natural Mysticism. > “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God doesn’t come with observation; neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” — Luke 17:20-21 Our heart resides in Zion, the kingdom of God, which is beyond our world. It is not a land we can leave footprints on, or hold its soil in our hands. In not being in one place, it is everywhere God is, which is everywhere, “For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28).
