Yet the thing we practice today known as “science and technology” was birthed during the Scientific Revolution and now has come to mean a perception that we are separate from the Earth. With this perception, the sacredness of the natural world and its intimate connection to each one of us, is eliminated and the “outside world” is relegated to the world of machines, everything moving and working like the mechanism of a finely tuned watch.
We are in dynamic interaction with the natural world every minute of every day and it is not a machine, but an organic, ever changing system. It will take more than machines and technology to solve our pressing crises.
