But if you take it, or think you can buy it, it's a totally different attitude, and it will not bear fruit. But I feel that in many ways the Christian tradition and the more pagan traditions are shadows of each other, that they both have something to learn from each other. So it appears here you make a connection again from physics to religion. The key word in postmodern physics is interconnectivity. That's a wonderful word in terms of theology, because that's the basis of compassion.
Compassion is an acting out of our inner connectivity, of our shared joy, of our shared grief.
So that's why I derive great hope from a postmodern science and a postmodern and premodern religious view teaming up together. The premoderns, again back to indigenous people, practiced interconnectivity, for example in a circle dance. When you're dancing in a circle, you have to interconnect with others. If one person wants to be a rugged individual, then the circle doesn't move. All get held up.
