Nature is Part of Us

I was reading in a book by Ken Wilber, called A Brief History of Everything and he writes the following:

“Molecules awoke one morning to find that atoms were inside of them, enfolded in their very being. And cells awoke one morning to find that molecules were actually inside of them, as part of their being. And you might awake one morning and find that nature is part of you, literally internal to your being. You are not part of nature, nature is part of you. And for just that reason, you treat nature as you would treat your lungs or your kidneys. A spontaneous environmental ethics surges forth from your heart, and you will never again look at a river, a leaf, a deer, a robin, in the same way.

This sounds very weird and far out – until you have that experience. You might ask the Apollo astronauts about it.”
