"There is a ... matter - much more valuable and divine than natural philosophy . ... On this matter I must speak to you in enigmas."

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. If two or three persons should come with a high spiritual aim and with great powers, the world would fall into their hands like a ripe peach.
