"Most "modern" humans are stuck in a fractured worldview "manufactured" for us by mainstream media, politics, economics and education. We see ourselves as solitary actors forced into competition with each other, disconnected from local community, the Universe and Nature. Everything we do is about survival in the global economic system. For most of us, the economy has replaced Nature and religion, as the "God" of our lives. Disconnected from the larger wholes (we in truth belong to), we have become slaves to an economic machine." ~Christopher Chase
