The child of the infinite

An education which aims to be integral has to base its environment upon the integral scale of the worlds and play with the infinite scale of the possibilities of existence without losing sight of the unity which supports them and embraces them. By even a limited stay in such an environment, any child's personality will be changed for the rest of his life. He will become and remain a child of the totality and the infinite even if, later on, unfortunate outer circumstances try to retrench some of his inner gains.

In the same way as the children of the forest, the ocean, the steppe or the desert have always retained something of the infinite that belonged to their native environment even after they moved into city and ‘civilisation’ and were captured by the small needs of respectability in the new life, so the children of the Milky Way will always retain some nostalgia for the stars and the interstellar spaces, even though their destiny keeps them rooted in a planet.

The child's affinity for the milk of the gods is too great for him ever to forget his immortality completely, once he has been nursed on it, even when he is later put on a human diet.

Let us therefore put our children in the company of the infinite, at least during the first years of infancy, so that each of them can, at least once, feel himself embraced by the arms of a maternal totality, of a universe for him alone, even if it seems to extend only to the limits of a garden.
