Modern man is the sublimation of the hunter-gatherer. And yet, this sublimation is anything but sublime for modern man is a dis-ease that infects everything he touches because he doesn't touch anything anymore but gets machines to do the touching for him. It is this venture into the pseudo and the subliminal instead of abiding in the Real that has caused man to descend into a virtual hell.
But you needn't be in hell. You can easily get out of it and start ascending into Paradise. Paradise derives from Sanskrit 'paradesha' meaning elevated region, so all you need to do - really - is hike a hill. This means embodying yourself and renewing yourself through locomotion in natural spaces. This is 'the hunt' and 'the gathering': sourcing (originating) and re-composing your Self originally. When you return to the primal you return also to the prime and the pure, and it is this purity that reveals heaven before you.
