Our present-day worldwide ecological crisis is, in the very strictest sense of the term, a worldwide collective neurosis – and is about to result in a worldwide nervous breakdown. This crisis, I repeat, is in no way going to destroy the biosphere – the biosphere will survive, in some form or another (even if just viral and bacterial), no matter what we do to it. What we are doing, rather, is altering the biosphere in a way that will not support higher life forms and especially will not support the noosphere. That alteration is in fact a repression, an alienation, a denial of our common ancestry, a denial of our relational existence with all of life. It is not a destruction of the biosphere but a denial of the biosphere, and that is the precise definition of psychoneurosis. What Sigmund Freud found his patients doing on a couch in Vienna, we have now collectively managed to do to the world at large. And who shall be our doctor? Ken Wilber
