To learn from "how nature organizes" doesn't mean looking at wolf packs in the wild, or how geese get together before migrating, etc. It means observing things while we think of them as "systems", or self-sustainable, constantly changing, yet complete wholes.
The simplest of all systems we can study are atoms and molecules. They are self-sustainable, functioning, moving, yet balanced organizations of electrons, protons and neutrons.
We can learn a lot from the seven stages of the Periodic Table of Elementary Properties. A huge amount waits to be discovered in terms of similarities with other systems of higher degrees of complexity. Plants and animals are, of course, much more complex systems. But perhaps they differ from atoms and molecules mostly in terms of their degree of their complexity.
However, if the patterns found in how atoms organize are relatively simple, these same fundamental patterns could occur again and again continually throughout the world of plants and animals.
Perhaps we can become aware of overall patterns that lend themselves to how we can organize in more natural ways as an international society.
This way of thinking is the basis of the Healing Economy of Conscious Evolution.
A system always finds balance, or it falls apart. Its close enough to perfect balance, or it does not exist. Perhaps, at this and every other point in our evolution as a society, there is something perfect in terms of the inherent balance of what goes on inside each individual, and as a planet-wide society. Our natural capacity to approach perfection of balance could continue to move society to higher levels of complexity.
Nature will not change over to being less reliant on balance, no matter how much we may want it to be otherwise. It is up to us to become more conscious of this evolutionary development from perfect balance towards more complex stages of perfect balance.
