Emphasizing the need for questioning the words that we use by continued inquiry, Hayward poses penetrating questions. Hayward blames in part the rise of suicide and drug use among young people on the training of teachers. Not only that, it's not true. It is not only possible but crucial to have science and sacredness. We have inherited scientific materialism, he continues, which still holds great sway over medical doctors, who approach disease with surgery and depression with drugs.
Every experiment is an anecdote.
Pretending that there is such objectivity results in tremendous suffering and environmental destruction. Women, Hayward notes, are more in touch with the aliveness of the universe in general. Depression, Hayward concludes, can lead to sadness, which leads to tenderness, which leads to a heart broken open.
