54. "Most of us have become Ecozombies, desensitized, environmental deadheads. On average, society conditions us to spend over 95% of our time and 99.9% of our thinking disconnected from nature. Nature's extreme absence in our lives leaves us abandoned and wanting. We feel we never have enough. We greedily, destructively, consume and, can't stop. Nature's loss in our psyche produces a hurt, hungering, void within us that bullies us into our dilemmas."

55. "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

57. "There is an ecological unconscious that can be drawn on to restore people to harmony with the natural world, a bond between our species and the planet as tenacious as the sexual instincts Freud found in the psyche."

59. "In a democracy, in order to learn to unashamedly love nature and reach our hopes and ideals, we need a readily available psychological process that reverses our anti-nature programing and heightens our innate ability to feel and validate natural attractions. "
