Tried posting twice this message to the
"Open Passage" thread. Nothing appeared :)
I'll try it here.

This message could have been appended to
the "History" thread, but I chose to put it here

Was browsing for a particular quote about Soul
Travel and intuition today. I didn't find it, but this
message wants to show what I did.
This quote from The Far Country (p. 180, 8th
Printing 1983) for example:
"Intuition doesn't use words. It existed long before
language was invented, and this is why we are cut
off, as it were, from our inner selves. We have gone
farther down into matter than the inner self has and
it can only talk to us when we furnish it with a chan-
nel for the no-thing forces to work through."
Granted, those are only so many words. It hints
at something though.
That quote - and some others in the chapter from
which it came - reminded me about an old Parabola
article I'd read. One that talked about illiteracy vs.
literacy, and how the latter is not always superior
to the former. That was my impression, how I might
want to describe it.
I've located a copy of the original article to express
what I'm talking about. The Far Country quote (and that
chapter) seems to be hinting at a common (or related)
theme also found in the following article.
See what you think.
