What Paralyzes Life Is Lack Of Faith

No One Can Deny That A Network (a World Network) Of Economic And Psychic Affiliations Is Being Woven At Ever Increasing Speed Which Envelops And Constantly Penetrates More Deeply Within Each Of Us. With Every Day That Passes It Becomes A Little More Impossible For Us To Act Or Think Otherwise Than Collectively.

My Starting Point Is The Fundamental Initial Fact That Each One Of Us Is Perforce Linked By All The Material Organic And Psychic Strands Of His Being To All That Surrounds Him. . . . If We Look Far Enough Back In The Depths Of Time, The Disordered Anthill Of Living Beings Suddenly, For An Informed Observer, Arranges Itself In Long Files That Make Their Way By Various Paths Towards Greater Consciousness.

We Only Have To Look Around Us To See How Complexity And Psychic 'temperature' Are Still Rising: And Rising No Longer On The Scale Of The Individual But Now On That Of The Planet. This Indication Is So Familiar To Us That We Cannot But Recognize The Objective, Experiential, Reality Of A Transformation Of The Planet 'as A Whole.'

The Age Of Nations Has Passed. Now, Unless We Wish To Perish, We Must Shake Off Our Old Prejudices And Build The Earth. The More Scientifically I Regard The World, The Less Can I See Any Possible Biological Future For It Except In The Active Consciousness Of Its Unity.

A Breeze Passes In The Night. When Did It Spring Up? Whence Does It Come? Whither Is It Going? No Man Knows.
