"High Mass Gardening",
From the Opening of Volume IV
This is the autobiography of a universal consciousness, defining
itself in terms of a human point. That human perspective is
the point where the universal defines itself in terms of the single
instant, the moment, the enduring in memory. That this instant
stretches itself into manifestation is the normal "run" of things,
in this kind of theater. If the universal consciousness establishes
its ability to be looked into from the human point, the human mind,
then the human consciousness acquires this aspect and therefore
definition of itself and its boundaries.
It should be completely apparent that once the individual atom was
broken down, beneath the impression of physical solidity of things,
the individual was next. Equally, once planets could be photographed
from spaceships, the individual Earth human as the center of the
universe would be next to be toppled on the ideology plane. If there
were not huge "defense systems," just as if against atomic attack,
this boundary of human being, established behind physical walls,
would not have lasted so long this century. All of this came to
my attention when I discovered I was on a reconnaissance mission,
a reporting mission; that I was to tell my story as a representative
story, of the human of the next centuries, who had long lost contact
with the deeply embedded idea today, that of materialism as the
definition of reality and materialistic man as the ruling human
in a universe that would allow such dominance more than passing
time span in the long-range eons of things. From the stars down
to the animals, there was something wrong with the idea that man
alone, defined inside the boundaries of length, depth, height, inside
elements that were of physical content only—that this man would
long walk the soil of the Earth, with its secrets still locked in
energies as then unknown; that this man/woman would succeed in convincing
him[and finally her]self that this rulership had lasting sense to
sustain it and uphold it, beneath the mental apparati that knew
how to change the shape of the Earth into a technological one. And
what man/woman would that produce, if technological Earth and materialistic
human put their rulerships together and set the future in that direction?
Thus, it was urgent for universal consciousness to plant a few new
ideas, begin to seed the seedbeds of the Earth with some new points
of view.
