Life Is Consciousness

People have tried building up might and power, and have used it to wreck themselves. Man has built up intellectual power; and especially since four centuries ago, since the Renaissance, education has been intellectual. People are surprised when you tell them that there is any other kind of education.

Those of us who have had the advantages of a higher education know that so-called intellectual study gives very, very little help in the practical business of living. This Truth movement comes along, takes hold of people and changes them. It restores health if that has been lost, restores estate if that has been lost, restores self-respect if that has been lost. It puts people on their feet, and shows them that there is something in life worth living for.
