The measures outlined above would tend to promote what might be called a sense of Gaian Holism, that is a sense of the unity and balance of nature and of our own human position within that dynamic and evolving balance. It is a plantbased view . This return to a perspective on self and ego that places them within the larger context of planetary life and evolution is the essence of the Archaic Revival. McLuhan was correct to see that planetary human culture, the global village, would be tribal in character. The next great step toward a planetary holism is the partial merging of the technologically transformed human world with the archaic matrix of vegetable intelligence that is the Overmind of the planet. I hesitate to call this dawning awareness religious, yet that is what it surely is. And it will involve a full exploration of the dimensions revealed by plant hallucinogens, especially those structurally related to neurotransmitters already present and functioning in the human brain. Careful exploration of the plant hallucinogens will probe the most archaic and sensitive level of the drama of the emergence of consciousness; it was in the plant/human symbiotic relationships which characterized archaic society and religion that the numinous mystery was originally experienced. And this experience is no less mysterious for us today, in spice of the general assumption that we have replaced the simple awe of our ancestors with philosophical and episremic tools of the utmost sophistication and analytical power. Our choice as a planetary culture is a simple one: go Green or die.
