This is a core contention. It may be _the_ core contention. Must we still
be struggling with it, or will we ever get to trying to move past it? Is
the creation of spirits some method of regaining the seemingly lost
connection between man and nature? Why do we think it is severed?
Whilst I can in all good conscience say that all life as we know it is
here in this solar system, and that it is most probably a product of
entropy, and that all that is starstuff, is it the mere condition of
consciousness- the 'I'- that disconnects us from this continuum?
Why is it an ugly question?
