"The religious renewal we see happening about us - especially among disaffiliated young people, but by no means only among them - seems to me neither trivial nor irresponsible, neither uncivil nor indecent. On the contrary, I accept it as a profoundly religious sign of the times, a necessary phase of our cultural evolution and - potentially - a life-enhancing influence of incalculable value. I believe it means we have arrived, after long journeying, at a historical vantage point from which we can at last see where the wasteland ends and where a culture of human wholeness and fulfillment begins. We can now recognize that the fate of the soul is the fate of the social order; that if the spirit within us withers so too will all the world we build about us. Literally so. What, after all, is the ecological crisis that now captures so much belated attention but the inevitable extroversion of a blighted psyche? Like inside, like outside. In the eleventh hour, the very physical environment suddenly looms up before us as the outward mirror of our inner condition, for many the first discernible symptom of advanced disease within."
From the introduction
"What Theodore Roszak offers us in Where the Wasteland Ends is nothing less than a State of the Union Message on the condition of the human soul."
