When you embrace in respectful 
              intimacy, this is a nurturing embrace. At 
              moments you pulse back and forth—you are the 
              Other and then you, again. Consider the illustration of an ellipse 
          that has two foci. Within a nurturing embrace the male/female 
              energy flows from each foci—you and the Other—and 
              outward to creatively imagine and so nourish the Living 
              Earth.
                  As noted, Earthfolk insights are based upon understanding 
                the Warrior’s Quest. 
                Right now, whether you are conscious of
                the fact or not, 
                you act out the ritual of the 
                Atom Bomb on a daily basis. You do so as 
           you imagine the Other as Intimate 
                Enemy—often as sub-human. 
        Based on the vision and values of the 
          three Big Stories, you 
          cannot help but be living an 
          emotionless, non-intimate, fear-filled 
          life, and as you do 
          you continue to infuse the Living Earth’s mind 
            and heart with the 
            self-annihilating vital zest that 
            first 
          arose from the atomic blast.
