english: There's not a lot of room for either in the malarial swamps of the Asmat or in the chilling winds of Tibet, but they have, nevertheless, through time and ritual, forged a traditional mystique of the Earth that is based not on the idea of being self-consciously close to it, but on a far subtler intuition: the idea that the Earth itself can only exist because it is breathed into being by human consciousness.
non_english: Nema dovoljno mesta ni za jedno ni za drugo u malarijskim barama Asmata ili u hladnim vetrovima Tibeta, ali su oni, ipak kroz vreme i rituale, prenosili tradicionalne tajne Zemlje koje nisu utemeljene u ideji o samosvenoj bliskoj vezi sa planetom, već na mnogo suptilnijem predosećaju: a to je ideja da Zemlja može postojati jedino ako joj ljudska svest udahne život.
