DH: “The essence of man is his [wave-form drawing, the upward and downward movement between levels] inter-level travel. But the travel must be smooth & not a violent switching. We suffer terribly from lack of proper connection between our family, social, & universal selves, a sort of spiritual constipation, or congestion, or spiritual traffic jam. We feel that we leave our families, our ‘castles’, for the great big hard world, & leave both for Church. Nature again is in a different category. We must learn to mix all these things up, & that is the virtue of analogy, generalising, of Mabel. Thus we loosen our own spiritual internal flow & unify our lives.” And Card-H-42-09 “You must rid your mind of the false contrast between family, nation, human city & universe. You must feel at home in the Universe, & Universally in the home.”
