The creative process itself — with its beauty and elegance, but also with its pain and destructibility — is our primary, tangible source for experiencing the divine energy. In this way we have had access to the "divine power" for possibly a hundred thousand years, whereas the formal religions, with their official perceptions and interpretations of divine disclosure, are no more than five thousand years old. To reclaim the sacred nature of the cosmos — and of Planet Earth in particular — is one of the outstanding spiritual challenges of our time. It has also within it the potential for a whole new sense of what theology is about.
