THE MEANING OF RELIGION
"Now: At this point the god inside became the god outside."
"Man tried to form a new realm, attain a different kind of focus and awareness.
His consciousness turned a corner outside of itself. To do this he concentrated
less and less upon inner reality, and therefore began the process of inner
reality only as it was projected outward into the physical world."
"Before, the environment was effortlessly created and perceived by man and all
other living things, knowing the nature of their inner unity. In order to begin
this new venture, it was necessary to pretend that this inner unity did not
exist. Otherwise, the new kind of consciousness would always run back to its
home for security and comfort. So, it seemed that all bridges must be cut,
while of course it was only a game because the inner reality always remained.
The new kind of consciousness simply had to look away from it to maintain
initially an independent focus."
