“Spirituality is the progressive revelation of a network that connects the human species with all other aspects of creation. The structure of the human community is under threat of immense turmoil. The human species abuses itself. Human beings abuse other lifeforms, and both the observed and not-yet-seen natural environments. It is an understated irony that the human species is not a victim of any form of abuse except that which is self-inflicted.”
