“Your
beliefs close you off from much otherwise quite-available knowledge concerning
man’s psychology – knowledge that would serve to answer many questions usually
asked about the reasons for suffering.
Other questions, it is true, are more difficult to answer. Men and women are born, however, with
curiosity about all sensations, and about all possible life experiences. They are thirsty for experience of all
kinds. Their curiosity is not limited to
the pretty or the mundane.
“Men
and women are born with a desire to push beyond the limits – to “explore where
no man has ever gone before” – a bastard version of the introduction [to a
famous television program], I believe.
Men and women are born with a sense of drama, a need of excitement. Life itself is excitement. The quietest mood rides the thrust of
spectacular molecular activity.”

“Evolution” and Value Fulfillment, Session
