The Denial of Death

We've constructed entire cultures and civilizations to help us deal with the fall out from having stepped out of nature and waking up into this nightmare. There's a big space between what we are and what we do, between impulse and action. Unlike any other animal, we have to look around and see what's been going on all this time while nobody but god was paying attention. This is the vision of job in the whirlwind, or of ar juna's vision when chrishna takes on his infinite form in the bagovad gida.
