I m suspicious of all systems, refuse all gurus, but believe that, at bottom, we are so much more than we think. I do believe that all religious and magical systems contain a kernel of some ancient knowledge, usually encoded in an unacceptably authoritarian system. The old Marxist inside me warns that all this religion stuff is an opiate, an oppressor. Sometimes it is. In the late twentieth century, theirs is the only literature of ideas we have.
Nothing is taken for granted.
Society, love, and work, even gender, are remade. There are anarchist and capitalist utopias, and worlds in which human beings travel faster than the speed of light, sport wings, and experiment with their own genetic engineering. There is always further, as the old sixties slogan said. Theodore Roszak and Murray Bookchin make their appearance. Very few things seem evil, except apathy.
