How Deep Is Your Love or, How Thinking as Such Defies the Weight(s) of Imperialism

Elemental and embodied thinking disrupts the master–slave template by formulating thinking in such a way that it does not require an object. In fact, it is the only way to think at all. Elemental thinking allows humans to respect the voices and subjectivities of all the planet’s inhabitants and to apply this relational posture to interactions between the various races that constitute our species. The rise of fascisms planet-wide is, like the growl of an injured predator, a signal of the imminent collapse of the master–slave template as the dominant format, one which also stands-in for other toxic binaries such as active–passive and human–animal. Imagining thought without this template is ecologically vital. We find a paradigm for this new thinking in what some might consider an unlikely place: conventional (that is to say, non-Gnostic) forms of Christianity.
