 Abstract from The Sacred Balance, by David Suzuki

Humans gather together and learn the meaning of the universe, our cosmology.  Now, we gather together and watch TV ads. Every ad is a cosmological sermon– the universe is a collection of objects to be fashioned into items for our consumption, and the role of humans is to work and buy objects.

Having more and newer things each year has become not just something we want but something we need. The idea of more, of ever increasing wealth, has become the center of our identity and our security, and we are caught up by it as the addict by his drugs.
–Paul Wachtel



Just a few generations ago, it was the norm for children to head out to play in the morning or after school, coming home only when hungry or hurt.

Increasing urbanization has diverted streams into culverts, paved over swamps and plunked housing developments where forests once grew. Increasingly, nature is imagined to be "out there," perhaps in parks and usually entails getting into a car to get there. The current generation of children are some of the most disconnected from nature ever in our history. They know how to use a computer mouse but might never have seen a wild one.

As we distance ourselves further from the natural world, we are increasingly surrounded by and dependent on our inventions. We become enslaved by the constant demands of technology created to serve us. Consider our response to the insistence of a ringing telephone or our behavioral conformity to the commands of computers.

A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe. A part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal  desire and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures.
–Albert Einstein
