"The major problems of the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think." -Gregory Bateson

I had a staring contest with this guy.

"The Raven is a bird of the Underworld; he has the ability to see into the past, the future, and beyond the veil of death. He has the great ability to travel from this world to the next; accessing the darkest regions bringing back visions and oracle instructions for the seeker and the healer. It is believed that the Raven is given as a gift from the Gods for the Seeker and the Healer. "

Ravens are known as the "keeper of secrets" in several native tribes, and are the teachers of mysticism. They have been wrapped in a wealth of myth and lore throughout many cultures and ages. Their black color and diet of dead animals associates them with the vast void of darkness, which is representative of the unconscious.

"Raven flies to us with heightened awareness and greater understanding of our consciousness. It is with this new perception that we begin seeing into the hearts of others and experience their feelings. Raven asks us to experience the transformation it brings within our multidimensional self, and be reunited with the mysteries of the universe so we can expel our inner demons."

The following is a preview of my upcoming article in the next issue of The Orris:

This epistemology, is insufficient for explaining ecology. At the finest level, nature is too complex to be unraveled by the explainations of mechanical sciences as can be inferred by the tons of data collected about phenomena that don't fit any mechanically scientific explaina­tion. This is why systems sciences epistemology is what we use to understand ecology. Nevertheless, mechanistic science remains the dominant paradigm.  Themes of mechanical order and separation from nature are reflected throughout industrialized culture, as evidenced in the reliance on technology,  medical practices, and the sterility of modern artifacts and cultural norms including  everything from office cubicles to hand sanitizers.

"...from the Romantic perspective, a landscape...makes our knowledge of nature bigger; art adds to what we learn from any combination of physics, biology, geology and chemistry. It tells us the world is ... magnificent, perhaps sacred, therefore deserving of reverence. At its highest level, it transforms our consciousness by uniting us with Deep Form in the natural world... By 'Deep Form' we mean the correspondence between processes of mind and formative processes in nature."

"Insofar as we are a mental process, to that same extent we must expect the natural world to show similar characteristics of mentality"

Gregory Bateson
