optimally amy "One can only consciously become the likeness of that to which one has been liberated. The seed must leave the dying plant in order to fulfill its dharma. A human being must emerge from the womb of local and ancestral traditions in order to be *individually* human; or as an old occult statement proclaimed: 'When the son leaves the mother he becomes the father.' Man circling the globe in conscious wakefulness and in control of the forces he is using can be remade in the symbolic image of a globe. Indeed the greatest symbol of the future is the Globe, and no longer the Cross; not the Man of Sorrow but the Man of Plenitude who, having learnt how to suffer, has overcome the schizophrenia of futile conflicts in pain and reached the peace that is found at the core of the sphere, where all radii converge and gravitation is annihilated -- at the core of the sphere, rather than in external space where men can only exist by means of technical subterfuges. Crises are inevitable; suffering is the great Liberator. What matters is the end, not the means -- provided these means really lead to the omega state, the plenitude of man. The Cross has been for us the way to the Globe. Our Christian culture has conditioned a global crisis can be the foundation for individual victory; and it should now be seen and justified as an inevitable prelude to Man's fulfilling tomorrows." -Dane Rudhyar 030510 what's it to you? who go blather from
