We have been manipulated to live less and less in tune with our own impulses, and in the intellect for so long that we now live our lives almost completely inside a conceptual reality.
Our human nature have been slowly distorted through generations of grinding in the mechanical demands of a system. The economic system, the employment system, the political system, the ”justice” system, the educational system. So we no longer have any relation to our own nature. Let alone the experience and perspective of the greater attunement of our inner nature to our planet, to earth.
We are so chained to christian capitalism, to the wheels of commerce, to servitude, to this unrelenting systematic social machine, that when we look at the violence in this world, the wars, the deforesting, the filth and pollution, the injustice, the abuse and brutal violation of indigenous people and other atrocities created by our culture, we fail to see that we are also looking at ourselves. Our repressed native life. Or life close to nature, far from the mind of citylife.
We are really looking at our own anger, our own rage over being captives. It is an individual outburst of rebellion. This is how our spontaneous life rebel against the onesidedness of our rationality.
We just fail to see that it happens inside ourselves, apart from the collective. So unknowingly, we make sure it is going to happen out there.
