Reveals how our survival depends on embracing complexity
consciousness and relating to nature and all life as sacred In
Future Sacred, Julie J. Morley offers a new perspective on the
human connection to the cosmos by unveiling the connected
creativity and sacred intelligence of nature. She rejects the
"survival of the fittest" narrative--the idea that survival
requires strife--and offers symbiosis and cooperation as nature's
path forward. She shows how an increasingly complex world demands
increasingly complex consciousness. Our survival depends upon
embracing "complexity consciousness," understanding ourselves as
part of nature, as well as relating to nature as sacred. Morley
begins by documenting how indigenous cultures lived in relative
harmony with nature because they perceived themselves as part of
the "ordered whole" of all life--until modernity introduced
dualistic thinking, thus separating mind from matter, and humans
from nature. The author deconstructs the fallacy behind social and
neo-Darwinism and the materialist theories of "dead matter" versus
those that offer a connection with the sentient mind of nature. She
presents evidence from complexity studies, cultural history,
philosophy, indigenous spirituality, biomimicry, and ecology,
highlighting the idea that nature's intelligence and creativity
abound everywhere--from cells to cetaceans, from hydrogen to
humans, from sunflowers to solar panels--and that all sentient
beings contribute to the evolution of life as a whole, working
together in sacred symbiosis.
