Once you accept, you see, that idea then you must, if you follow your thought completely through, accept the idea of a random accidental universe in which you are at the mercy of any accident; in which mind or purpose have little meaning; in which you are at the mercy of all random happenings; in which 300,000 human beings can be swept off the face of the planet without reason, without cause, simply at the whim of an accidental happening. And if that is the universe in which you believe that you live then it is a dire and forbidding universe, indeed. In that universe the individual has little hope for he will return to the nonexistence that his random physical creation came from. Following that line of thought, then accidentally, if you follow this through, a group of atoms and molecules were sparked into consciousness and song and then will return to the chaos from which they came. And the individual has no control over his destiny for it can be swept aside at any point by random fate over which he has no recourse.

This also had to do something with the leg and the foot difficulties earlier, both being limbs and objects of manipulation in physical reality. Now, the hand also represents freedom. The incident represents two opposites. One of freedom as the hand, as a hand being able to rise. And the other, lack of freedom, as for example, the hand not being able to move. You were objectifying, in your mind, two opposites and attempting to correlate them. Do you follow me?
