“Once the idea of a supernaturalistic creation is fully overcome, the idea returns that the universe must be self-organizing and therefore composed of self-moving parts. Also, insofar as dualistic assumptions are fully overcome and human experience is accepted as fully natural, it begins to seem probable that something analogous to our experience and self-movement is a feature of every level of nature.” HumansIdeasSelfSeemsMovingUniverseNaturalLevelsMovementCreationReturnOvercomingAcceptedFeaturesAssumptionHuman ExperienceMoving Parts Book:God and Religion in the Postmodern World: Essays in Postmodern Theology Source: God and Religion in the Postmodern World: Essays in Postmodern Theology

“The Lockean assumption that if we put our labor to it then it becomes our own is totally fallacious. We have to figure out how to leave things alone, and build an economic system that's not built on a linear model, but instead on a cyclical model, because that's the natural world - it's cyclical and not linear. That is going to take a lot of transformation.” IfsWorldNaturalEconomicFiguresModelsBuiltLaborTransformationEnvironmentalAssumptionSustainabilityNatural WorldLinearEconomic Systems Author:Winona LaDuke
