“It has been Europe’s destiny (her historical function in the evolution of human society) to provide the intellectual foundation for the emergence of new powers and new social ideals. It seems to be America’s destiny to be the main field within which the two basic possibilities of use and management of these powers [technocracy and counter-culture] have to fight for supremacy. , , ,”
“Every new release of power establishes the undismissable need for a new type of human being to handle the vast potential of energy, which, if not used by a new type of men and women, must destroy all men and women within its radius of action. There will be new institutions, new mechanisms of control, new techniques; but these will prove a blessing to man, only if they come as the creation of the new type of human beings, when this new type has definitely established its ascendency over the long-ruling ‘elite’ of an outdated society.”
And, speaking of the Kohoutek comet of 1973, which is applicable to the asteroid approaching Earth in November 2020, Rudhyar says:
“[W]e must keep in mind that there is more to the appearance of a comet than a few weeks of close proximity to the Sun and to the Earth. Such comets should be considered “signatures” of cosmic changes. They do not cause anything to happen; rather they reveal that the time has come for changes to take place.”
