The Feminine, the Poetic, and the Sacred

Our modern culture is plagued by anxiety, alienation, and the delusion of the Godcomplex. We are entering a dangerous zone of absolute power and absolute control, of absolute totalizing grids and absolute surveillance. Everything that is filled with primal vitality is suspect. The all-pervading utilitarian technocratic thinking suppresses all other modes of being in the world, so the feminine, poetic, and the sacred are mostly rejected by our culture as having no value. Such narrow utilitarian logic takes a form of dangerous reductionism that persistently permeates our culture. What rapidly gains urgency is the need to find alternatives to reducing human beings to utilitarian functions and disembodied sets of data, and to reducing language to a set of rigid definitions that are closed for questioning or renegotiation
