“Pasteur originally conceived the idea of germs and of destroying them. Although this started as a personal thing, it has mushroomed into DDT, killing beetles and worms, resulting in food contamination, much sickness, and trouble. Although he is regarded as hero by modern medicine, Pasteur will be treated in much the same way as a warmonger when he is judged in the spiritual world.” WorldWayIdeasSpiritualTroubleModernHeroMedicineKillingTreatedSicknessDestroyingJudgedWormsGermsPersonal ThingsBeetlesContaminationWarmongersModern MedicinePasteurDdt Author:Michio Kushi

“It is with a rush of home-sickness that the thought of death presents itself.... Such sentiment is the eternal stock of all religions, modified indeed by changes of time and place, but indestructible, because its root is so deep in the earth of man's nature. The breath of religious initiators passes over them; a few "rise up with wings as eagles" [Isaiah 40:31], but the broad level of religious life is not permanently changed. Religious progress, like all purely spiritual progress, is confined to a few.” MenHomeEarthSpiritualLife IsDeathReligionReligiousLevelsProgressChangedEternalRootsBreathsWingsSicknessSentimentsBroadsEaglesConfinedHomesicknessIndestructibleReligious LifeSpiritual ProgressThoughts Of Death Author:Walter Pater
