Carl Sagan called the burning of the library in Alexandria by Christians in 391 one of the most obscene atrocities in the history of our species. Nor would there have been the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Witch slaughtering. Nor would there be a West Bank or Gaza strip killing field. Such violence would be unthinkable and obscene to anyone living within the world view of mysticism. No dualism We must rid ourselves of the dualism that infects so much of our orthodox religious views of the Earth and the universe.
Dualism constantly separates man and woman from the sacred, nature from man, and spirit from matter.
D.T. Suzuki, was lecturing at Stanford University. God against Man. Man against nature. Nature against man. God against nature.
