Hello Brad: Don't know about Gaia being 'new-agey.' I was thinking more in terms of James Lovelock's notion that 'earth, in all its interactions and transformations, added up to a single giant living system.' I have always sensed this was Ray's perspective, if I have been reading him correctly.
Edmund O'Sullivan's excellent book (2000) "Transformative Learning - Educational Vision for the 21st Century" [OISE/UT Press] further develops this premise. Philosophically, the book has a strong spiritual component, but I wouldn't classify it as 'new-agey.' Your tongue-in-cheek wit was noted. So far my polyps are fine. But who knows... I am middle-agey.
