When, in order to concentrate exclusively on God, we cut ourselves
off from nature, we destroy our own roots. There must be in us a circuit
between heaven and earth, not a one-way flow, draining us of all vitality.
It is not enough that we draw up the Kundalini from the base of the
spine; we must also draw down the divine light through the
Thousand-Petalled Lotus. Equally, it is not enough for our mental health
and spiritual development that we draw down the Divine Light, we must
also draw up the earth forces. Only too often mental health is sacrificed
to spiritual development through ignorance of, or denial of, this fact.
Nature is God made manifest, and we blaspheme Her at our peril.

The genius of American politics has been to marginalize and isolate people. In fact, one of the main reasons behind the passionate effort to destroy unions is that they are one of the few mechanisms by which ordinary people can get together and compensate for the concentration of capital and power. That’s why the United States has a very violent labor history, with repeated efforts to destroy unions anytime they make any progress.

Your head’s like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune’s all we are.
