The mind has grown to its present state of consciousness as an acorn grows into an oak, or as saurians developed into mammals.

Caution has its place, no doubt, but we cannot refuse our support to a serious venture which challenges the whole of the personality. If we oppose it, we are trying to suppress what is best in man - his daring and his aspirations. And should we succeed, we should only have stood in the way of that invaluable experience which might have given a meaning to life.

At the moment I am looking into astrology, which seems indispensable for a proper understanding of mythology. There are strange and wondrous things in these lands of darkness.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
