the earth is sacred: it is our mother, gaia, and our
existence is entirely dependent upon it. we are
literally extrusions from it.
in a way you could say that gaia provides the four
sacred things: earth, air, fire, water. and that
humans provide a channel for the fifth: spirit.
to see the world as sacred: alive, sentient, wise,
imbued with light and love...
to see the world as profane: a predominantly inert
ball of resources to be exploited.
i think it may be time to join the dots, not only to
james and the pragmatists, but through them back to
the transcendentalists: emerson, thoreau etc. i think
pirsig carried 'walden' with him in ZAMM didn't he?
