Quote by William Irwin Thompson
Catastrophes are often stimulated by the failure to feel the emergence of a domain, and so what cannot be felt in the imagination is experienced as embodied sensation in the catastrophe.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that catastrophes often occur because individuals or societies fail to recognize the signs or changes happening around them. When they are unable to imagine or comprehend a new emerging reality or domain, they instead experience the consequences of this ignorance in physical and tangible ways during a catastrophe. In other words, the failure to mentally perceive and adapt to new circumstances leads to physical repercussions and disasters. It emphasizes the importance of intellectual and imaginative foresight to mitigate potential catastrophes.
