The sacred, inviolate value-idea is Ecology-- the character, the animus, the ethos, of true culture, its vital animating principle.
Eco-God himself is possessed, constrained, by the ecological imperative-- there is no long-term survival of Life without this moral absolutism. It is the Prime Directive, the monist Commandment of all life, the driving Soul of God, and of his Menning-- in fact it is God himself.
Wisdom comes to us from possession by the Eco-Self-- 'Self''-control. The urge for freedom from control results in destructive chaos, as we see. We must accept the rule of God and his Law, to shape our cultural structure, to impose a stringent discipline that keeps us on the right track for long-term survival of our species and the entire Biosphere. The alternative is the doom we have been creating, with our imperative of willful freedom. Can we accept the authority of God, or will we go on mindlessly indulging ourselves toward extinction?
Menning= the ecological culture-civilization.
