“One of the great unresolved psychological enigmas of the modern western world is the question of what or who has persuaded us to accept as virtually axiomatic a self-view and a world-view that demand we reject out of hand the wisdom and vision of our major philosophers and poets in order to imprison our thought and our very selves in the materialist, mechanical and dogmatic torture-chamber devised by purely quantitative and third-rate scientific minds.” WorldMindSelfHandsOrderViewsAcceptingVisionModernPoetDemandMajorsThirdsWesternRatePhilosopherPsychologicalTortureRejectsOur ThoughtsChamberWestern WorldWorld ViewDogmaticEnigma Book:Human image, world image: the death and resurrection of sacred cosmology Source: Human image, world image: the death and resurrection of sacred cosmology

Often this requires accepting responsibility and practicing discipline.” IfsWantLongWaterResultsResponsibilityAcceptingAirDisciplineDemandMajorsBirdDestructionTrainTrackFishesDisasterHighwaysFrameworkDevastationTrue FreedomAccepting Responsibility Author:Gigi Graham
