The Ecological Archetype

The Drygand is the Ecological Archetype, the new God-idea for a world on the brink, with a prospect of terrible fate.  He is a synthesis of previous gods (archetypes), according to the Value-idea of Deep Ecology, in itself a synthesis of thesis-- the primeval chthonic ethos of Man's embeddedness in and dependence upon Nature-- and its antithesis-- the dualist civilizational ethos of humanist distinctiveness and independence from Nature-- resulting in an evolutionary final ethos of Man as heroic protector of Nature, ensuring its survival and freedom from human interference, to wend its evolutionary Wyrd..  The Drygand, the avatar of Deep Ecology consciousness, embodies this transcendent Idea which offers hope for Life on Earth.
