Once
human beings communed freely with the forces of nature. They felt a
spirit in every hill or vale. They saw a Divine face in the Sun and
the Moon. They felt a consciousness in the mountains, trees and
clouds. They recited poetry, performed rituals, and had
profound meditations on the sacred world order, which they
discovered allied with their own inner Self. Those who possessed
such insight were the sages, seers, druids or rishis that guided the
culture.
The advent of the One God and his one book
banished the nature spirits from the Earth, disconnected us from our
ancestors, and removed us from the grace of the great Gods and
Goddesses. Our human god like a superego came to rule over our
psyche and alienate us from life. Pagan learning that included
natural healing, astrology, the occult and yoga was dismissed as
dangerous, if not demonic.
