“It rose in my mind’s eye like a great time-lapse vision. I saw a human being rise from the earth, stand for a moment, and then dissolve back into it. It was only a brief moment, and in that moment our whole lives passed. Then I saw a huge city rise out of the desert floor beneath me, exist for a second, and then vanish back into the vastness of the desert. The plants, the rocks, and the earth under me were saying, ‘Yes, this is how it really is, your life, the city you live in.’ It was as if I was able to perceive and communicate with a resonance or vibration that surrounded me. Those inner barriers which defined ‘me’ as a separate identity from ‘that’ – my environment – had dissolved. An overwhelming realisation poured through me – that the human race and all technology formed by it are nothing other than flowers of the earth.”
