When human beings lose their connection to nature , to heaven and earth , they do not know how to nurture their environment , or how to rule their world — which is saying the same thing . Human beings destroy their own ecology at the same time that they destroy one another . From that perspective , healing our society goes hand and hand with healing our personal , elemental connection with the phenomenal world .
