The Importance of Holistic Consciousness
by Gary Z McGee – fractalenlightenment
“There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will act as the lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now.” –Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael
Have you been seduced into screwing everyone else on the planet? Is the story you’re enacting one of conquer-control-consume-repeat? Is the cultural myth you’ve swallowed your entire life at odds with nature and the world? –Tough questions, certainly, but important questions to ask nonetheless.
