The true differences in nature are none.
"Man is the measure of all things."
Yet man's measure has been found to have no certainty or truth.
What if man removed measured uncertainty from his life,
and made = his natural choice of truth?
That would unite us with nature,
and all would be truly one!

Joseph Chilton Pearce does a most excellent work with his insights into the true nature of mind and reality. He defines culture as a "cosmic egg" structured by the mind's drive for the logical ordering of its universe, i.e. the sum total of our notions of what the world is and what we perceive its full potential to be, form a shell of rational thought in which we reside. This "
logical universe" creates a vicious circle of reasoning that robs our minds [like a thief in the night] of power and prevents us from reaching our true potential. To step beyond that circle requires a centering and focus that today's society
assaults on every level. It is a masterful discovery and synthesis in physics, biology, and psychology that reveals the extraordinary relationship of mind and reality and nature's blueprint for self-transcending humanity. Through the insights of Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Castaneda, and others, he shows how our imagination can escape the "
logical universe", and leap into a new phase of human evolution. "The Crack in the Comic Egg", subtitled; New Constructs of Mind and Reality. I recommend it.
