“White anthropologists claim that Indians have “primitive” and therefore deficient minds, that we cannot think in the higher mode of consciousness - rationality. They are fascinated by what they call the “magical” mind, the “savage” mind, the “participation mystique” of the mind that says the world of the imagination - the world of the soul - and of the spirit is just as real as physical reality. In trying to become “objective”, Western culture made “objects” of things and people when it distanced itself from them, thereby losing “touch” with them. This dichotomy is the root of all violence.”
