Read by Martin John Chapter 1 Session 801 [part 1 of 5, 801,802,803,804) “I have thus far stayed clear of many important and vital of the individual was to be stressed, and his power to form his private events. Only when the private nature was emphasized sufficiently would I be ready to show how the magnification of individual reality combines and enlarges to form vast mass reactions – such as, say, the initiation of an obviously new historical and cultural period; the rise or overthrow of governments; the birth of a new religion that sweeps all others before it; mass conversions; mass murders in the form of wars; the sudden sweep of deadly epidemics; the scourge of earthquakes, floods, or other disasters; the inexplicable appearance of periods of great art or architecture or technology.” “Give us a moment… Inner reality and private experience give birth to all mass events. Man cannot disentangle himself from the natural context of his physical life. His culture, his religion, his psychologies, and his psychological nature of the great sweeping emotional, religious, or biological events that often seem to engulf the individual, or to lift him or her willy –nilly in their power. What is the relationship between the individual and the gigantic mass motions of nature, of government, or even of religion? What about mass conversions? Mass hysteria? Mass healings, mass murder, and the individual? Those are the questions we will devote ourselves to in this book. It will be called: ‘The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events.’” youtu.be/SYqymfnzwvk
