Now your next level of Release that was acceptable to the world at large–that man is a spiritual being. Now that is in decay. That has been known and has been suppressed, and has been suppressed since 1879, Professor Wundt, Leipzig, Germany. I always like to remember the man’s name. Man was an animal and he was nothing but an animal and therefore it was all right to kill him, maim him, shoot him, do anything you possibly could to him because he was “Nyaa, no good,” see? Now this is something … [Read more...] about Lecture: Releases and Clears (2) (1966)
