This so called 'Greek miracle' – the invention of the rational mind – coupled with the so called 'Jewish miracle' – the invention of the one transcendent God – replaced the natural world of energy and spirit with an artificial, 'divine' world of ideas and its deathly processes of reduction and deduction. Then 'understanding' became a matter of being party to a line of argument rather than a tuning into energy with one's faith and natural power. And what we common folk insist on failing to realise is that this shift away from the natural has little to do with truth and enlightenment and everything to do with the invisible powers that be keeping us in willing subservience, indeed slavery.
