. 1990 . Transpersonal Ecology Psychologising ecophilosophy. Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, 22 1 59 96 Hastings, A. 2003 . Review of C. Bache s Dark Night, Early Dawn Steps to an Ecology of the Mind ...nofootnotes date January 2011 Transpersonal ecology is largely associated with Warwick Fox , although the work of some other people, such as Rupert Sheldrake and James Lovelock , has some relevance to the field. The contributions of Fox emphasise the importance of experience of nature for an understanding of eco philosophy. His work shows the influence of Arne Naess . The contributions of Fox to the field are evident in Fox 1990 , in an article in which Fox deals with questions of values and nature. This approach to transpersonal ecology met with criticism by Stavely and McNamara 1992 , who questioned whether greater respect for nature will necessarily result from cosmological or transpersonal identification with nature, as Fox assumed. Although since the early articles in Journal of Transpersonal Psychology on this field, few articles appeared on this field in Journal of Transpersonal Psychology for the next decade 1992 to 2002 , there are signs that there have been recent revivals of interest in this field. For example, Bache 2000 , in an article which appears to take a very negative view of how well humans are prepared to an oncoming environmental catastrophe, has compared the likely human response to the concept, in Christian mysticism , of the Dark Night of the Soul , coining ...

Moki steps , sometimes spelled alternately as Moqui steps, are a recurring feature found in areas of the American southwest previously inhabited by the Ancient Pueblo Peoples and other related cultures. The steps consist of alternating hand and toe holds carved into vertical or near vertical sandstone surfaces. The steps are usually two to three inches deep, and three to four inches in width and height. Location and Use Moki steps are often found near cliff dwelling s and water sources. They may have allowed relatively quick access to difficult to reach areas such as slot canyon s, look out positions, and granaries. In some cases, Moki steps are thought to have provided access to fertile canyon bottoms from more defensible dwellings on or above surrounding cliffs. The steps may have been used in conjunction with handmade ropes. ref http books.google.com books?id x9fZrykn2 YC Canyoneering, by John Annerino ref Similar sets of depressions may have been carved by non indigenous settlers or explorers.
