SELF-DETERMINATION:


Self-determination does not mean
exercising intellectual mastery at all times
over bodily, earthly processes, though the
capacity for that mastery expands our
human possibilities.

Growth means learning the limits of our
will. What appears to be mastery – flying
an airplane, for example, is merely
cooperation with natural forces. Human
intellect does not master natural
processes; we tap into them, learn them,
bring our own aims into harmony with
them.

The world is not a jungle, to be hacked,
cleared, or bulldozed. Human beings are
learning not to clear jungles that way
either. The world is us extended over the
globe. We can spend our whole lives
discovering the wonderful oneness of
creation.

The awareness of this unity expands our
human possibility, for each case is an
example of our growing harmony with
nature.
