註釋Five hundred years ago we entered an imagination of the machine when the Benedictine monks invented the mechanical clock. Locke, Hobbes, Bacon, Descartes, Newton & others proclaimed the machine the model for the body, nature & the universe. Today, we are robots of this machine world we've created. We are now trapped in a mechanized consumer-driven society. The corporation-economy creates a Machine Culture in which all of us are robots of our spiritual impoverishment. We have been cut off from the Sacred--the connection with an Otherworld of spiritual reality that comes to us through nature. Indigenous people & our archaic ancestors hold fundamental beliefs & ways of relating to the physical & nonphysical world that we've lost in our Machine Culture. These people remember the pathway into another imagination. To be holy mechanics is to relearn these old/new ways & to reclaim our souls by living from inside not outside ourselves. By initiating elder-leaders, establishing epiphanal communities, fasting from the media & mapping the topography of our inner experience we begin to reconceive a different future for ourselves, our children & our planet.
