Mountain means the wild, in the earth and in the mind. It means the living system, not a replica managed by humans for human ends. Mountains are where humans, with their self-centered notions of order and management, and their narrow definitions of profit and economy, have not yet reached, or have not yet taken control. Greed and fear will pose a question: How can the home of knowing be where human organization has not reached? But every voyage into the mountains will furnish the answer: it cannot be anywhere else.
