Description
Dane Rudhyar reads from the end of the seventh chapter his 1938 book “New Mansions for New Men” in which he writes about the magic of Love. In Rudhyar’s system of spiritualism, an individual’s true potential can only be found through one’s relationship to others, a relationship that is best defined by love. As he has written “The will to improve and to be more than one is, flaming forth in the sixth mansion out of the relative failure of self-expression in the fifth, becomes in the seventh mansion the will to play a part in a great drama: the drama of the birth of the greater whole is constituted out of the fulfillment of relationship - which is love. Love is fulfillment of relationship. Love is, universally speaking, the birthing of God; the gathering of the host.”Genres
