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.
