Even in your culture you are presented with multitudinous fields of interest and stimuli. Those who consistently choose negative patterns program themselves in those areas, gradually alter the chemical balances within the body. You cannot separate health from philosophy. Each individual has his or her own idea of reality.

The gentleman who wrote you from Canada (Vincent Vycinas)—the writer—is living out his cultural agony. (The name of VV’s book is Our Cultural Agony.) In his case the drugs are being used so that they can be blamed for a malaise that is spiritual. They give our friend the excuse physically for a retreat from the world. He feels that he has lost his power, because he does not believe that the individual, with all his capacities, really has any effective power in the cultural world.

Your visitor believes that these children who can also move objects (and who work with AP) are unique, and a new breed—but any children of past generations who realized that such feats were possible, and desirable, could do the same thing. Your point about the footraces is well taken in that context—the mile run. (I’d explained to Jane the psychological barrier that had existed for so many years about the impossibility of a human running the mile in four minutes. But once one man had done it, many, many others have in recent years.)
