"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."
