It might sound complicated, but I think people just crave complex answers when the truth is actually quite simple. Think about it like this: imagine a human nervous system that isn't constantly bombarded by the mindless nonsense modern society shoves down our throats. We live in a world where people have lost all sense of rhythm—they don't know when to eat, when to hydrate, or when to sleep, let alone anything else. They carry around a thousand problems, but only seven of them are actually real. Instead, they drag those issues around for years, sweeping them under the rug, until they create such a personal hell that they end up burning themselves out and taking everyone around them down with them.
A stressed-out nervous system had one primary job back in the day: find food for the tribe. Beyond that, they weren't wasting energy on trivial nonsense regarding who owned what or how things functioned. When food was scarce, people migrated. Sure, more primitive groups might have raided others for supplies, but humans simply weren't weighed down by this endless stream of trivialities—and I’m talking about the era long before organized slavery took hold.
When we talk about being "closer to nature," we’re really talking about a more spontaneous, direct connection between consciousness and the spiritual energies surrounding and residing within us. Back then, a person could likely tap into their intuition much more clearly to receive guidance on how to solve life's challenges. They didn't have to worry about managing private estates or municipal government structures, but they certainly had to deal with the deep, existential realities of being alive.
