"One
of the functions of mythology is to present an image of the cosmos in
such a way that it becomes the carrier of this mystical realization, so
that wherever you look it’s as though you are looking at an icon, a holy
picture, and the walls of space and time open out into the deep
dimension of mystery, which is a dimension within ourselves, as well as
out there.
"This
dimension can open through the science of today even more wonderfully
than it opened through the science of the second millennium B.C.. There
is absolutely no conflict between science and the religious mood or the
mythological realization—but there is a conflict between the science of
the twentieth century A.D. and the twentieth century B.C.. This is what
we are getting in our religion, because the whole thing became petrified
in the fourth century at the time of Theodosius when the authority of
Byzantium came down with St. Augustine to establish the beliefs that had
to be accepted. From this came the petrifaction in our tradition and
the split between the scientific and the religious view."

“Consequently he who wishes to attain
to human perfection,
must therefore first study Logic,
next the various
branches of Mathematics in their proper order,
then Physics,
and lastly
Metaphysics.”
“He, however, who
begins with Metaphysics,
will not only become confused in matters of religion,
but will fall into complete infidelity.”

Perplexed”,
