Hmmm....
I don't think that can be answered yet, we have first to see Man as part of nature, but not as scientist see it and not as Christianity or other religions define it. Why? Science ignores the evolution of man out of primal animal behavior and espouse that Man has instincts the same as large predators, without a conscience. This negates the very element of our evolution. Christianity teaches much the same thing, that Man without the moral imposition of the Laws of God would be an unconscienable beast--So I feel that even the foundation of science has its formula in Christianity and the belief that Man's nature is corrupt and evil. There have not been any behavioral study done on the human experience where religon or evolutionism isn't already infecting the subject matter.
My second thought on this matter, well, I think Hobbits come to mind 
Peace

not to be controversial...
but what is a 'natural' existence? Pre-agricultural? Pre-stone age? Pre-Christian? Post Rosseau? Or do you mean simply that one should avoid such over-intellectualization? BTW, this post indicates that you have abandoned your self proclaimed subconscious fourth grade expressions somewhat, and is much easier to read.
