When I said nature I meant the texture of existence.
The reason I settled on dualism is because everything is a positive or negative of some sort on some level to someone or something. As a side note I believe we're all motivated by survival including the Socrates' of our race(human race). Detriments are evil. Assists are good. Like electrons, either + or -.

Some would say God is all means everything, including the smallest
building block of existence, whatever that might be. The God you're refering to as a social construct is different cultures' personifications of forces that occur in "nature". What you're referring to as nature, is what I'm referring to as God. When I think God I'm really not thinking of a superior being as much as everything that possibly is. The seemingly infinite number of parts that make up everything that is, including the unfathomable, is related in some way like the individual parts of an organism. That's an ultimate constant. All that is. God encompasses all that is including our concept of nature, even if the concept is a perfect duplicate of that which contains it. In your final statement, it almost seems as if you're trying to conclude that true power for humans lies in embracing the world of the material. Is this an accurate assessment?
