Entache our civilization

All the myths seem to indicate that we would have lost an original paradise: was it a paradise environment, as may be nature when it is respected? A state of being that would have been that of our ancestors, and who should be ours? Or do myths tell us a state to which we must strive to ensure a sense of our existence? These questions, which are ontologically fundamental, although rather hermetic to a scientific approach, deserve careful consideration.

In any case, there is nothing to say that the physical and psychic state that is ours and that we believe normal corresponds to the prefigurations in our genetic data. Discontents that go through our culture very systematically, and express themselves through all sorts of destructive behaviors, could be an unconscious protest against living conditions and a state of being that disagree with our deep nature. These pushes are all the stronger because we are unable to verbalize the factors or errors that generate general ill-being. We are far from being able to analyze the root causes of frustrations, internal conflicts and everything that conflicts with our innate aspirations.

The destructiveness that our society manifests against the environment could derive, at least in part, from unconscious forces tending to denounce or even destroy a system felt responsible for the loss of the sense of existence proper to our materialistic society. Conversely, the threat of an irreversible ecological disaster, although a consequence of this destructiveness, could lead us to question the entire reductionist system on which we depend. This is not only materially, purely ecologically, as we usually do, but goes back to the subtle mechanisms that obscure our consciousness of the sense of existence.

In other words: the threat of an ecological disaster would paradoxically be our spiritual plan of salvation…
