We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road—the one "less traveled by"—offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.
"In the post-meditative experience become a child of illusion" is a slogan from the Tibetan mind training tradition. We engage the world as we experience it all the while realizing that reality is not as it seems to be.

Two roads diverge
I just found this in my files and can't remember if I've posted it or not. Anyway, it bears repeating if I have:
I remember when I wrote about Rachel Carson's theses in a term paper when I was in 8th grade, and that was over 40 years ago! She was a prophet.
