“The religious instinct leads us into experience that assists our modern consciousness in linking back down the DNA ladder into ancestral memory and then bridging that with the new patterns emerging in the modern world, such as globalization, the dominance of technology, explorations of outer space, world powers located in big business, and so on.
The recent stretches of humankind demand connection down the ladder in order for the anima mundi to survive. Functioning as roots anchoring the developments of modern humankind, the religious instinct is of primary importance beyond the human species.”
