Message from the Age of Aquarius Society: The next revolution will be different than previous ones in that it will start subjectively, as a revolution in human sensibility, with political change as an afterthought. That’s why we need books 🙂
This alienated, rootless, consumerist society desperately needs new visions. I agree books are a vital part of that change in human sensibility you refer to.
Great quote!
Purpleanais,
Read the entire amazing piece. I’ve read it twice, and plan to do so again next week.
