Truth is a multi-facetted diamond. Important aesthetic, moral, ethical, social, economic, political, legal, cultural and religious questions may be raised vis-à-vis several aspects and dimensions of the contents and structure of the Neith Network Library on-line I+N Creativity House. Love is the crucially decisive question. How best to promote the authentic growth of the Human Good? Problems are seldom solved by hiding dust under a carpet. Enlightenment brings lightness of heart, levity. Nurturing and nourishing individual personal freedom is here our chief aim and intent.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears…
As Pierre Teilhard de Chardin has written:
“Love, in conformity with the general laws of
creative union, contributes to the spiritual
differentiation of the two beings which it brings
together. The one must not absorb the other nor, still
less, should the two lose themselves in the enjoyments of
physical possession, which would signify a lapse into
plurality and return to nothingness. Love is an adventure
and a conquest. It survives and develops like the
universe itself only by perpetual discovery.
Little by little, love becomes distinct, though still
confused for a very long time with the simple function of
reproduction. No longer only a unique and periodic
attraction for purposes of material fertility; but an
unbounded and continuous possibility of contact between
minds rather than bodies; the play of countless subtle
antennae seeking one another in the light and darkness of
the soul; the pull towards mutual
sensibility and completion.
When the maturing of its personality is approached
for the Earth, humans will have to realise that it is for
them not simply a question of controlling births, but of
increasing to the utmost the quantity of love liberated
from the duty of reproduction. Enforced by this new need,
the essentially personalizing function of love will
detach itself more or less completely from the flesh
which has been for a time the organ of propagation.
Without ceasing to be physical, in order to remain
physical, love will make itself more spiritual”
