Charioteer, from the Sanctuary of Apollo, Delphi.
c. 470 B.C. Museum, Delphi
In this finest hellenistic work of the sculpture art we can see the noble, manly power and energy which is upheld against all the imbalance by the high recesses of the mind; the great mind alone!
The words "cosmic evolution" in my use mean the progress physically, emotionally, mentally, intuitionally and spiritually. And can it be anything else but the very tiny collective nature´s progress with the individual consciousness that transforms what is place, time and boundary of visible life - no it cannot and that is why like to Plato to me "a human soul by its innermost features is immortal". That is why in spite of the masses of the sheer ignorance in the religious field of the human thinking and action, those wise have a lways trusted to the advancing and rising life also in the context of this immortality of the innermost features of our souls. And they are and can be only deeply individual... not only the collective carrying of the complex experiences of the history in our genes. |
