To be isolated is to be sick, and in so far, dead. The life of the All must stream through us to make the man and the moment great.
To be isolated is to be sick, and in so far, dead. The life of the All must stream through us to make the man and the moment great.
Are we not sick today? Isolated in an exterior world, a world we have made but is not ours. Condemned to a life of exteriority; trees to be cut; rivers to be dammed; nature to be subdued. What is there that could flow into us? — But learn to open yourself to nature and a new boundless world arises within you. A world whose only limits are those you set.[1]
