“Many non-Western people still do not comprehend the full implications of our secular concept of nature. They believe that Western science may help them to control their affairs more effectively, but they have not always realised what this means for their form of the sacred—or indeed for the future of Planet Earth.” — Armstrong, Karen. Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World (p. 17). Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2023. Kindle Edition.
