A KORA OF KORAS

Type to enter text
Very few people in our modern, ‘westernized’ culture feel an ‘overmastering
emotion’ for the sun, even if we know how essential it is to our existence. Instead
we are rational, scientific and transactional18 about it, an attitude we bring to all
of life, as we take the great mystery and power of our natural world for granted.
Forgetting our small place in the web of life, we lack humility and consider
ourselves free from any debt or obligations regarding our own life or what we
must do here. If we consider it at all, we think of “God’ as a loving, male (in the
western countries), anthropomorphic judge who stands distant and apart, not as
that power and intelligence that surrounds and pervades us,; we worship a ‘God’
we imagine in heaven, not a ‘God’ incarnate as nature, a God we see, feel, fear,
love and are utterly dependent upon and are obviously and intimately related to;
for we have lost our ‘spiritual’ connection to nature.
Nature is the great Feminine and we no longer refer to Her as God. We have
forgotten that Laws of Nature define our lives; we believe we have ‘conquered’
Nature with science and technology and now attempt to control and exploit Her.
We have forgotten she is our mother on whom we are dependent and although
protective, she is also horribly destructive with rules and limits about how far we
can go.
