"remaining true to the earth" means admitting that either we get things right on "this" planet, or we don't get things right at all. the earth represents our one and only window of opportunity, at the same time as it symbolizes all of our unknown higher potentials. neither spaceman nor god will come to save us. but this is not a bleak dystopian materialism, because just as our simian ancestors couldn't realize that the development of their vocal cords (something they already had at least in rudimentary form) would open up those new dimensions of reality that we call language, civilization, and culture, just so we ourselves cannot yet get our minds around what we might be able to do already in rudimentary form – both with our own bodies and with the planet as a whole. "faith in the earth" means always remembering that whatever developments might lay in store they will exist in this world, so their very possibility depends entirely upon each generation's maintenance of the biosphere, including the atmosphere. an amazing future is depending upon us.
