Human Domestication: Sickness of Seperation

Domestication is the systematic process of removing a plant or animal

from the rhythms & cycles of the natural world. Domesticated beings

exist in an environment created & controlled by the human species &

function for the sole benefit of human endeavors. The human animal is

just as much a part of the circle of life as any other mammal & to be

removed from this circle creates a climate of perpetual stress. The

effects of a stark disconnection from nature can be observed in zoo

animals & pets, manifesting as neurosis, depression, anxiety, apathy,

codependence & a host of other psychological reactions to an unhealthy

environment.

In the tigress pacing her cage we see our reflection.

Fortunately, humans have not lived this way long enough to become

genetically adapted to it. Our place for countless generations has been

as close to the earth as we can be. Even as agriculture drew us slowly

from our trust in the bounty of the Mother, & temporarily allowed our

populations to swell beyond carrying capacity, we still retained a

diminishing connection with the cycles of wildness. It is only very

recently in human history that the break from nature has become so

complete. Industrial manufacturing & monoculture farming have become our

surrogate Mother.

Each one of us is a wild animal suffering, isolated from our true

livelihoods & homes in the arms of our true Mother. Our civilized

conditioning makes us dependent & weak but we still yearn for the

freedom of wildness & the deep satisfaction of living out our feral

destinies as a part of the community of life. What we are trying to

create is an environment conducive to healing from our self-perpetuated

domestication:

dependence on civilization & put new trust in the Land to provide for

us.

that make civilized life bearable.

honor & respect.

lushness of life.

domestication & live in balance as our ancestors once did.

We are born wild. It takes years of socializing to subdue the power &

beauty of a child’s primal instincts. This process is reversible. It is

possible to become feral by overcoming the numbness of the civilized

condition & become fully human. We can be wild again.
