"What once pervaded the world as the anima mundi is now seen as the exclusive property of human consciousness.. The modern human self has absorbed all meaning and purpose into its interior being, emptying the primal cosmos of what once constituted its essential nature.“ - Richard Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche. Intimations of a New World View.
@psyche_the_mag @RichardRohrOFM 4/ And further, Abram: “What if thought is not born within the human skull, but is a creativity proper to the body as a whole, arising spontaneously from the slippage between an organism and the folding terrain that it wanders...between our flesh and the flesh of the earth?" x.com/covidyoga/status/1472365582502674433
