“Tremendous changes lie ahead, tremendous ebbs and flows of the political tide before the general trend is established. What we are experiencing now is the cracking up of the previous uniform cultural myth.”

“And even if I’m alone with another person, culture is the third guest at the table.”

“Culture replaces authentic feeling with words. As an example of this, imagine an infant lying in its cradle, and the window is open, and into the room comes something, marvelous, mysterious, glittering, shedding light of many colors, movement, sound, a transformative hierophany of integrated perception… and the child is enthralled and then the mother comes into the room and she says to the child, “that’s a bird, baby, that’s a bird,” instantly the complex wave of the angel peacock iridescent transformative mystery is collapsed, into the word. All mystery is gone, the child learns, “this is a bird, this is a bird,” and by the time we’re five or six years old all the mystery of reality has been carefully tiled over with words… This is a bird, this is a house, this is the sky, and we seal ourselves in within a linguistic shell of disempowered perception…”
