Instead of simply reacting to signs<\/em> that came from the outer landscape, Homo sapiens began to react to conceptions<\/em> which appeared in a new, inner landscape.<\/p>\n It has taken more than a few score millennia to realize that the power of ecosystems now flows directly through us. Ironic, isn’t it, that we are just realizing this now? But why should we be surprised — Mother Nature always provides gifts when things are falling apart.
