It starts, very often, with food, with the cleansing of the body, and leads to the experiencing of living on a different level. I strongly suspect that, beneath the mythic layer, is what we might call 'the ground of being', 'the source of life', or 'God'. What is interesting is that, as you experience and move down through these levels and contact the energies available at these levels, you experience more and more connectedness with other people whose myths are different from yours, and you find you have more and more of the desire to do whatever you can to enliven the centre, the knowingness, the individuality of another person as well. That is what is so beautiful, and to me that is what real health is about. When you begin to experience the totality of your being, you experience a joy that nourishes you deeply from within, a joy you can draw on and pour forth.
Man is by nature creative.
That which he is, when it is not blocked, pours forth for the benefit of everyone, for life itself, as well as being extremely satisfying for him. I believe that we live in extraordinary times. We live in times where the pollution of the environment is unprecedented in the history of the world. We live in times where we, at any point, can blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons which we have produced. We live in times when the social order is breaking down, when we see destructive impulses being expressed in a form that, even twenty years ago, we did not imagine.
