Evolution and civilization have separated us from the Tao. In order to get back to the Tao we must separate from evolution and civilization, stepping out of them as if we were stepping out of a stream – a stream of time, and evolution, and history.

Therefore, we must learn how the distortions of evolution and the complications of civilization came to be. We begin with the existence of, and the relationship between, qualia and matter.
