" mistaking cultural history for a process of gradual evolution, we have deprived ourselves of every reasonable insight into the nature of culture. "
" it was attention to the events of heaven which shaped men's minds before recorded history; but since there was yet no writing, these thoughts have receded, as astrophysicists say, over the event horizon. They survive only through fragments of tale and myth because these made up the only technical language of those times. "

" Ancient historians would have been aghast had they been told that obvious things were to become unnoticeable. Aristotle was proud to state it as known that the gods were originally stars. "

Free yourself from that social structure that is operating in you without becoming
anti-social, without becoming a reformer, without becoming anti-this, anti-that. You can
throw the whole thing out of your system and free yourself from the burden of this
culture, for yourself and by yourself. Whether it has any usefulness for society or not is
not your concern. If there is one individual who walks free, you don't have any more the
choking feeling of what this horrible culture has done to you. It's neither East nor West,
it's all the same. Human nature is exactly the same -- there's no difference.
You are only interested in what to do, what to do.
Courage is to brush aside everything that man has experienced and felt before you.
You are the only one, greater than all those things. Everything is finished, the whole
tradition is finished, however sacred and holy it may be – then only can you be yourself –
that is individuality. For the first time you become an individual. What you call ‘yourself’ is fear. The ‘you’ is born out of fear; it lives in fear, functions in fear and dies in fear

"... a one-pound stone might have a surface area of 12 square inches. Ground to about 200 mesh, it would have a surface area of about 8 acres. One ton would therefore have a surface area of 16,000 acres. The significant thing about that 16,000 acres is that it is all freshly-broken stone with the useful elements exposed right on the surface. These elements are readily available for extraction by the microorganisms."
