The periods that I have felt the most connected to those around me and the natural elements have been camping. It says a powerful message when camping has stood the test of time for thousands of years, in an age of endless technology, people still naturally want to be outside and to connect with those around them. I believe practices such as this as well as the popularity of concerts support the authors criticism of Canner. It may be that we all do have the tools for integration built within us, the challenge is simply realization. I do wonder, how Canner's conceptualization of integration and separation may be applied to a broader society such as our 21st technologically driven one. While people may have an inner need and drive to connect, early teachings drive us away from our natural ways. We've long known about society pushing us away from our natural tendencies. It is no stretch to apply these principles to food markets, business models, and social tendencies. How does a being who wants to connect to internally, to the world, and to others survive in a world when the others do not want to connect with them?
