"The world, then, is very, very impressed with these mechanics. It's so impressed with space and energy and machines, objects, that any of these seem to be more important than a mind — the mind which makes them. And this is curious. But it brings a person down — as he gets more and more impressed with mechanics — brings him down to lower and lower levels of being mechanical. So if you could conceive it, a life-energy production unit has actually dropped out of sight to such a degree that people don't even know they are one anymore.

"Now, that is attributable to a dependency upon mechanics and a validation of mechanics. It isn't that you just withdraw from mechanics, you understand, and leave them all alone and say 'Let's all go off and quit.' No, an individual has to be put back into communication with them, mostly because he's afraid of them. And after he's done this he says, 'Why, look-a-here,' he says, 'I don't have to depend on these things. That's nonsense.' And the next thing you know he has regained some of his own power and ability."
