The Covenant of the Universe

[F]inally, a reversal has begun, and the reality and value of the interior subjective numinous aspect of the entire cosmic order is being appreciated.... All our human affairs... have their meaning precisely insofar as they enhance this... subjective intercommunion within the total range of reality. ~Thomas Berry

What will create the new era for our earth community is not so much what technology and science [and academia] will do, but what authentic intercommunion does. Thomas says intercommunion, “the ontological covenant of the universe,” is the new spirit mode indicated for all constituent parts [everything] within our universe.

Intercommuning with good creation is the natural way. Namaste.

I love that word "numinous" and Berry uses it often in his essay on THE NEW STORY. DR
