Letter 17: THE STAR

"All things are out of water created, All by water maintained. Thou Life-giving Ocean, vouchsafe us thine agency ever!"  (Goethe, Faust)

"These two agents [fire and water] manifest themselves everywhere, including the domain of human intellectuality. There are minds who have sided with "water", and it is to them that we owe the ideas of "transformism": evolution, progress, education, natural therapy, living tradition, etc.; and there are others who have sided with "fire", to whom we owe the ideas of "creationism": creation ex nihilo, invention, election, surgery and prosthesis, revolution, etc." --VT
