1.1       The Man

Nature contains an infinite quantity of the matter charged with energy, which creates an unlimited multitude of forces, actions and reactions, tensions and equilibriums. The man is a live part of nature; he possesses the sensorial ability, thoughtfulness and the ability to act consciously. By moving, the nature creates sensorial advantages and disadvantages to the man. The sensorial difference between the advantages and disadvantages forms the man's needs. 

The man defines his needs by thoughts. By thoughts, the man creates and accumulates the consciousness of the advantages and disadvantages of his attitude to nature. The thoughts about different conditions form different emotional states. When the state of the nature does not suit the nature of the man, this creates in him an adverse sensorial and emotional tension that concentrates the energy towards finding an appropriate state.  

The man mostly meets his needs by acting consciously. The intensity of his acting depends directly on the degree of the disadvantage. Small disadvantages induce a small moving energy, while big disadvantages that also bring into question his subsistence accumulate all the man's energy in his struggle for survival. The process of acting lasts as long as the man has satisfied in full all his needs. 

Satisfaction of the needs brings advantages that are proportionate to the intensity of surpassed disadvantages. Advantages appear in the form of relaxation from the inconvenient tension, in a sensorial and emotional satisfaction resulting in saturation. The ratio of the needs and saturation changes periodically, with the intervals dependant on the nature of the needs. The period of saturation relieves the man from the needs.  

The man depends on nature and is, therefore, not fully free. In its broadest sense, freedom represents a state of full independence and, accordingly, does not allow formation of needs. The man having vital needs does not need freedom in the broadest sense. In a narrow sense, freedom is to be accepted as a state allowing the meeting of the needs because the man who cannot meet his needs is not free. Such freedom is a prerequisite for accomplishment of the man's subsistence, for the development of his abilities, powers, cognition, and therefore the man can and needs to have such freedom.

Nature has an unlimited power in relation to the man; however, thanks to his biological development, the man adapts to the movements of the nature and develops his abilities so that in normal natural conditions he can meet his natural needs. The man can be free in nature. His freedom is based on his ability to do what he wants; however, such freedom depends on his cognition that he wants what he can do.  

During his lifetime, the man acquires a multitude of favourable and unfavourable sensorial and emotional states arising from the relations with nature. By controlling and putting in order his reflective determinations as regards the sensorial and emotional aspects of the life practice, he creates the knowledge about the conditions bringing advantages and disadvantages in nature. Knowledge formation is the man's greatest ability. The knowledge understands the forming of objective definitions of the laws of movements in nature, the definitions that under equal conditions form equal reactions irrespective of the degree of advantage or disadvantage that such definitions create. Objective definitions present the laws of the movements in nature as they really are.   

Knowledge gives power to the man to meet his needs by a conscious and organized work. The man opposes with the work the disadvantages in nature, produces the means needed for his own survival and for creation of major advantages. The working ability gives the man a great power in nature.  

Anything that creates advantages has its value. The man accepts the value in the cases where differences may exist between advantages and disadvantages, where the needs are not satisfied or may be non-satisfied. The value is actually proportional to the needs.  

The work output has its usable, and/or natural value. Natural value of the output meets the man's natural needs linked with the survival and living standard. To the extent the work brings advantages by itself, it has its usable value to that same extent. The man's bright future is in finding the work that brings major advantages in its duration because it reaches the essential advantages in that way. As a general rule, such advantages are more lasting and may also be more intensive than the advantages arising from consuming the work results.  

The man defines by knowledge the regularity of movements in nature, and the more deeply he reveals them the more broadly is he able to apply their regularity. Knowledge gives the man the power that is in its form unlimited in relation to nature. The more the man develops the knowledge, the more needs he can create and meet, the more control he has over the conditions forming his sensorial and emotional states. "The man who knows" is able to discover and form his own progressive orientation, to live in harmony with his own nature, to rely on his own forces, to believe in his power and in himself. Such a man is able to understand his personal relationship with nature, to develop love with nature, to develop a constructive relationship with the nature, to find the pleasure in the relationship with the nature. Such a man necessarily lives in harmony with the nature. The more the man knows, the more he meets his natural needs, the more balanced he is, the more he believes in conveniences, the more optimism he builds toward life, the more relax, content, joyful he is for the fact that he lives. Generally speaking this is a description of a man who lives a natural productive life and as such can be easily recognized.  

Wisdom is the highest level of knowledge. It is acquired only by the experience gained by normal natural living. The wise man constantly satisfies his natural needs and therefore experiences a major saturation. He has everything he needs, irrespective of the quantity and quality of what he has and is, therefore, satisfied. By overcoming the inconveniences, the conveniences also lose importance. In other words, where differences get smaller between the possible conveniences and inconveniences, the needs also get smaller. The more the man knows the less need he has, which means that by living he comes closer to freedom in its broadest sense.
