As long as we're Ego-centered, we will never get at the Self-perceived world, which is reality at the quantum level. The more the collective Ego refuses to abdicate, then, the more we are setting ourselves up for a devastating coup, in which the Earth itself and the collective unconscious, literally, push us out of this artificial womb we have created. We don't even have enough resources to keep this shell game going for more than a few generations.
