This chapter reconstructs humanity’s original state of participatory consciousness: a world in which reality was experienced not as a collection of discrete objects but as a living, intelligent field. This ecological ontology, echoed in traditions from Heraclitus’s Fire to modern physics, framed human awareness as an inseparable part of an animate, expressive cosmos.

Recorded with ETI’s class of 2025-2027 (educationthatinspires.com).
