A single species, our own, has broken free from the normal constraints of animal genetic life, the human species now occupies an extremely privileged role in the cosmos as the only intelligent technology wielding species known to exist in the universe. However, what science would have you believe, and explicitly implies, is that we are an abboration, here over here you have nature, the beautiful rainforest, the wonderful coral reefs, the cemetery of the humming bird, the sea urchin and the butterfly. And here you have us, grimy, tawdry, ugly, polluting, driven, in disequilibrium, in denial; I dont believe that. I believe that this kind of thinking that breaks humanity away from the rest of nature is the first of the great disempowering myths by which the western mind has enslaved itself. And we are not outside of nature, we are not a runaway toxic process, we are not a mutation, we are in fact that part of nature that has been deputized for a purpose, we are the energy gathering aspect of the gaian mind, we are the language forming capacity of nature herself. You may know the concept of a catalyst in chemistry, a catalyst is something that hen u stir it into a chemical reaction thew reaction precedes more quickly but the catalyst itself is not destroyed, and this is what I think we are, we are a strategy on the part of the gaian mind to produce an effect that otherwise would take much much longer to produce. The main effect of the presence of human life on this planet has been to vastly accelerate the speed at which nature is able to creatively express herself.
