Throughout history we have been obliged to reformulate fundamental beliefs whenever our curiosity exposes flaws that undermine our conception of reality. This is never an easy process, particularly now. The institutional and emotional investment in the certitude and fixity of material reality is gargantuan. The energy required to reach a critical mass for so dramatic a shift in thinking is too great to consider. And such energy must necessarily arise from the dissatisfaction of individuals who are powerless against monolithic institutional self-protection. Fortunately for those who seek change, dissatisfaction is on the rise. The recognition of being trapped between illogical, oft-times cruel religious prescriptions and an impossible, value denuded material culture is beginning to breed a discontent that can ultimately fuel significant change.
