again. Rain. all day.
"We literally can't see the deeper dimensions of Earth if we remain in a human-oriented frame. For we then tend to think that the oil, in the California hills is, and always has been, there for us. We believe that there is something unique abut our intelligence, that we, in our billions are intrinsically more important than the plants that grow in your yards. Foundationally, the thinning of boundary between self and other is crucial. The complete elimination of it, is, at times, a necessity. It is only then that it is possible to experience the other inhabitants of this scenario from inside their own lives. Understanding emerges, only at such moments, that the human world and its concerns are as unimportant to the other life-forms here as the mosquito you just swatted is to you. It changes things. For the first time the arrogance of the human perspective vanishes. It's possible then to see just how thoroughly it biases nearly every aspect of science….and how much it alters nearly every human intervention into the ecological functioning of the planet. We have a place here, yes, but it is not as important as we have been trained to believe. The experience of boundary dissolution, for the first time, lends a realistic perspective to the human orientation. Behavior alters accordingly."
