No Perfect Machine

All machines, systems and processes must have a built-in degree of suitable tolerance; a little looseness and room for slight movement of the individual parts.  If the mechanics of any living structure fit too closely, it could not move and grow.  Thus, you should understand that from this viewpoint, there can be no “perfect machine,” but always a matter of limited variations within known structures.

As long as you obey the desire to identify yourself with some group of humanity, you heed the call to rest and die.

The worldwide cry for “more education” is but a mechanical reflection of Man’s destiny to extend the upper levels of the nervous system.

As understanding increases, you begin to see Man as a never ceasing growth process, and your duty becomes to halt all criticism of life-in-action.

The ordinary nervous system consciousness of Man can study its lower operations, but the apparent “I” cannot so study itself.  One’s development must rise above this mechanical level so that the I-functions can then be seen and studied as a lower operation.
