"On the basis of protecting their independence, many people refuse to participate in the collective life. Well, these people do not realise to what extent they are actually limiting themselves. They move within the small circle of their feelings, their desires, and their lusts. What poverty, what misery! This is not freedom. This limited state is normal for a child, but not for an adult. Adults must show that they are able to think of others: their family first, of course, but also their neighbours, friends, colleagues, and fellow citizens...And even then, this is limited. The circle must become wider and wider, to include the country, the race, the whole of humanity...and still further, to encompass immensity, infinity, the universe...Rare are those who have reached beyond these limitations, whose desires, thoughts, and interests converge on the collective, universal aspect of life. It is in this direction that we must strive." Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
