diality. between something
ti resonates and something:

doesn’t. Some people can ,

say,the strangest things, but
here’s some integrity of word

one squeezes much into a lit-
tle. Onc takes a huge thing
and constricts it into an
essence. The magician will
regard a flower on the altar
and say, “This flower repre-
sents the sun.” This capacity to
link the large and the small by
way of our imagination is a
powerful tool. Artists are those
who use that tool creatively.

The artist looks at the alive-
ness of an idea and gives it
shape in such a way that it
gives birth to wholeness, per-
petuates unity.

Traditional Scandinavian
builders constructed their
homes in such a way. They
would carefully select a site in
a wooded area and then use
the trees they cut down as the
core of the dwelling chat
would take the place of the
forest. They took care to place
the trunks and planks used as
pillars in the same positions in
which the trees originally grew.
In this way, they A that the
resonance and vital force of
the trees continued to-live, | -
even though the trees them-
selves had been cut down.

We've lost this art in our

modern, western culture. We

have ceased to be artists in that
cespect. We make new cre-
ations in such a way that they

kill something in the process.

When we build a road across

the countryside, some of that

countryside dics. Look at an

ancient road and see the differ-

ence. It has a-resonance to it.

Unless we know how to

place sacredness in things like
roads, buildings and other

. forms, the sacred world will

not be born. The structures -
we create will run contrary to
what we seck to accomplish:

honors the parts.

When there is connection
berween the global and the
personal, then something hap-
pens which resonates far and
wide. Two, three or four peo-
ple can do something quite
local and small and it can res-
onate around the globe.

The ball is in our court. All

of us, as artists of life, can, in
our own lives, remind our
world of the power of reso-
nance between spirit and form.
To have free access to the
planet, we best be integral in
ourselves. We-best resonate
with the same inner life of
realization /transtormation.
Planetization of humanity

requires a self-transcendent
person. We will not discover
our transpersonal self without
discovering our identity with
humanity. We'll nor be whole
until humanity is whole.
Cleavages that afflict
humanity’s world body are
marked in our own substance.
We can no longer be indif-

ferent. The planetization of
