Come fairies! Take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame. W.B. Yeats The engineering of humanity "Toy bewitched, made blind by lusts, disinherited of soul. No common centre Man, no common sire. Knoweth! A sordid solitary thing mid countless brethren with a lonely heart. Through courts and cities the smooth savage roams - feeling himself, his own low self, the whole." Coleridge's Religious Musing The disconnect Modern man - the smooth savage with a lonely heart living in high rise 'smart' cities of concrete and glass... forced to live by the clock in a bubble of busy business, and compelled by the status quo to try and be top dog in a dog eat dog world. Sacred sympathy Gone is the wonder of childhood: lost is 'sacred sympathy', the flower of imaginative intuition and the innocence of thought that we experienced in the magical time when we were still connected to the All, and not yet corrupted by the descent into matter - into 3D density and the world of materialism, intellect and ego. Paying the price 'The world is too much with us; late and soon. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in nature that is ours...' Wordsworth The acute development of our intellect and emphasis on achievement has been realized at a terrible price. Material success has robbed us of our connection and perception of the energetic 'other-worlds' which exist all around us. We can no longer unite with the spiritual beings that vitalize form; no longer connect with the faerie realms, and have turned our backs upon our divine connection to all life - the seen and unseen, and in so doing we have lost touch with our true selves. We are only half alive.
