Often we marvel at the apparent serenity and spiritual confidence of ancient people, forgetting that their tools were taught and used within an environment that encouraged them to recognize and embrace natural and divine forces.
These factors affect our unconscious sense of timing and our ability to communicate with nature, which we often overlook. Factors such as our work and play rhythms, clothing, diet, and travel are affected by climatic and seasonal factors.
Our perception of the outside world has changed, and we have lost our sense of wholeness within a great system. It's no longer determined by where we are or what time it is by the Sun's daily motion across the sky. Today, we do not use our ancient cosmic orientation to relate to the natural world as we once did.
