" Forest, at one level, means the world. It includes the whole creation. You are also part of that forest. You can reorder it, but you can not be outside it."

In subsequent works such as Bill Plotkin's Soulcraft (2002) the rich depth of human psychological states is also shown to be reconcilable with a "more than human" world.
