The luminous shadow of materialism

Resumo

The so often criticized shadow of materialism, when reflected upon with an integral perspective, reveals itself as a hidden potential seeking emergence. However, such a condition for human progress can be grasped provided we are willing to lessen the tension between the two-fold excess of pride and complaint so characteristic of the illusory attachments of enlightenment and romanticism. An appreciation of the power dormant in the dark pool of light
of materialism becomes particularly relevant in the context of the current
international year of light.
