'In October, 1961, Laurens Van der Post led a Pendle Hill week-end seminar, sponsored jointly by Pendle Hill and the Friends Conference on Religion and Psychology....This pamphlet has been edited by Elizabeth Vining from a recording of his talks at that time, which were given spontaneously and not from a manuscript.'
'...in some mysterious way modern man knows so much that he is the prisoner of his knowledge. The old dynamic conception of the human spirit as something living always on the frontiers of human knowledge has gone. We hide behind what we know. And there is an extraordinarily angry and aggressive quality in the knowledge of modern man; he is angry with what he does not know; he hates and rejects it. He has lost the sense of wonder about the unknown and he treats it as an enemy. The experience which is before knowing, which would enflame his life with new meaning, is cut off from him.' --p.3
