 From the April 2001 issue:
Saving The Indigenous Soul:
An Interview With Martín Prechtel
By Derrick Jensen
“Every individual in the world, regardless of cultural background or race, has an indigenous soul struggling to survive in an increasingly hostile environment created by that individual’s mind. A modern person’s body has become a battleground between the rationalist mind — which subscribes to the values of the machine age — and the native soul. This battle is the cause of a great deal of spiritual and physical illness.”
The Sun’s editorial assistant Luc Saunders writes: “This interview with Martín Prechtel is a poignant evocation of the Mayan worldview, reminding us of the power of ritual, the eloquence of grief, and the sacredness of everyday life.”
