Apparently there is a great discovery or insight which our culture is deliberately designed to suppress, distort, and ignore. That is that nature is some kind of minded entity. That nature is not simply the random flight of atoms through electromagnetic fields. Nature is not the empty, despiritualized , lumpen matter that we inherit from modern physics. But it is instead a kind of intelligence, a kind of mind.

There is a spiritual obligation, there is a task to be done. It is not, however, something as simple as following a set of somebody else's rules

We need a metaphor that can contain the daemon of the future that we have conjured into being.
