31. No two people - no mere
father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide
emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one
in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament,
and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot
break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he
was born."

32. Each natural
sense is an intelligence. For example, it is intelligent for
the sensation of thirst to turn on and attract us to water when
we need water, or turn off when we have enough.

33. "We have repressed
far more than our sexuality: our very organic nature is now unconscious
to most of us, most of the time, and we have become shrunken
into two dimensional social or cultural beings, aware of only
five of the hundreds of senses that link us to the rich biological
nature that underlies and nourishes these more symbolic and recent
aspects of ourselves. "

35. "Oh, what a catastrophe,
what a maiming of love when it was made personal, merely personal
feeling. This is what is the matter with us: we are bleeding
at the roots because we are cut off from the earth and sun and
stars. Love has become a grinning mockery because, poor blossom,
we plucked it from its stem on the Tree of Life and expected
it to keep on blooming in our civilized vase on the table."
