Excerpt from The Mind in the Making
I have long been curious and puzzled by the sculptures, writing, and such-like remains of the Neolithic mind found In America; the antiquarian material from Mexico, Peru, and Central America. There is not a word about this stuff in The Mind in the Making, and yet after reading it I find much that was monstrous and obdurate in these old riddles dissolving at last into a quite acceptable and comprehensible explanation. The book has had the effect of illuminating me not only at its point of application, but all along the line of my curiosities.
These autobiographical confidences would be inexcusable if they concerned me alone, but I feel that what has happened to me - the sense of having created a bridge and come into a new land of understanding - must be happening to quite a number of other readers of this great teacher.
