I Think It's Naive To Pray For

In The Order I Was In, Each Brother Takes Five Vows, One Of Which Is Teaching The Poor Gratuitously. As A Young Person I Was Seized By This Idea Of Social Justice And I Wanted Very Much To Follow My Vow Of Teaching The Poor Gratuitously.

I Think There's An Enormous Value To Being Negative. The World We Live In Today, Negativity Is Not Permitted.

Mystery Is Gone To The Certainty Of Technological Principles. So The Real Terror, The Real Aggression Against Life Comes In The Form Of The Pursuit Of Our Technological Happiness.

It's Not Just The Effect Of Technology On The Environment, On Religion, On The Economic Structure, On Society, On Politics, Etc. It's That Everything Now Exists In Technology To The Point Where Technology Is The New And Comprehensive Host Of Nature Of Life.

The Language Of The Moment Or, As It Were, The Language Of The Order In Which We Live, Is The Image. I Felt That If I Wanted To Commune With The Public, I Should Best Do So Through The Language Of Image. It's A Conscious Embrace Of A Contradiction.
