I felt the last reading gave an excellent overview of who Bucky was, and what kind of effect he had on the world of science. But I also felt that it didn't share enough of his ideas, and I found it hard to write about the article because of this. Hence, my long winded tangent about ghouls, goblins and indigo children. I decided to look online for some of his writings and came across a fascinating book called Humans In Universe by Anwar Dil, which is basically a conversation between him and Fuller. The portion readable on Google Books is mainly about the relation of the triangle to gravity,gravity to humanity and humanity to the universe. I got the sense before that Fuller was a spiritual man of some sort, and I when I use the term spiritual I don't mean religious. This conversation with Dil illustrates his spiritual side in a very deep sense. This analytical view taken by Fuller in his belief of a higher power is what I was talking about earlier with the death of Theosophy. This is the humanist approach that began to vanish with the rise of big business, and this is the approach that needs to make its way back into modern science if we want this world to improve. I'll definitely be heading to the library to see if they have this book, as Fuller provides theoretical answers for some of those universal questions that have sat in my mind since I was a teenager. His belief that we are from nature and not above it is what drives his yearning for our healthy coexistence with mother earth. I'm excited to dig deeper into this mans pool of knowledge, as I can tell from reading only a tidbit of his ideas that it is the most enlightened thought of our time.
