Without a genuine mythology, human experience remains imprisoned within boundaries that are exclusive rather than inclusive, boundaries that may shrink to solitary confinement.

Now that the planet has become, in essence, one country, the necessity of finding a way to relate human experience at the personal level to the entire community of life becomes critical. A global community that includes not only human relationships but the relationship of human beings to every form of life on the planet and to the planet itself in relation to the divine.
