Ugh. Interesting stuff there, but the whole piece is written in an appalling Gaia-worshipping style.<p>&gt; The ocean not only changes us physically, but psychically.<p>&gt; Those who dive deep in the ocean get a glassy look in their eyes when they describe their experiences; it’s the same look one sees in the eyes of Buddhist monks or emergency room patients who have died and then been resuscitated minutes later. Those who have made it to the other side.<p>&gt;  This is the feeling of your body reacting to the life-changing energy of the largest living mass on the planet.
