Despite the countless changes in external appearances and actors and players, our human civilization, this version anyway, has had a consistent philosophical base in duality.  You and I, Yin and Yang, This and That, White and Black, Good and Evil, God and Devil… so on.  This duality has been so ingrained as to be instinctive, the glasses through which we understood and sought to understand everything in the universe.  Competition and domination, the basic driving force in our society is an offspring of duality.  What, then, is the alternative to duality?  What can fill the narrow and yet impossible gulf between God and Satan?  What is the “middle” that we have forgotten and need to recover?  The answer is life, energy (Ki), and Human.  Especially, a new understanding of the human, the instigator and protagonist of creation, is the key to overcoming the inherent flaw of duality. 

Spirituality is the bridge that connects us to the ultimate source of all existence, the sea of nothingness.  Therefore, a spiritual awakening is reestablishing the connection to the source, discovering your own roots, in a sense.  The first order of business that we must accomplish in order to know our own roots is to know the root of our physical manifestation first and foremost: namely, Earth.  To know that your life and Earth are not separate but one, that you are a part of the great biosystem called Earth.
