Human Energy, Progress, and the Forces of the Universe

Human Energy, Progress, and the Forces of the Universe

There are three ways
in which human energy
that determines the human process
can be increased.

First, we can increase the mass.
In the case of humanity,
this would mean improving the conditions
of life, health,
the development of the species,
and similar factors.

Second, we can
reduce the forces of resistance
that slow progress,
such as ignorance, stupidity,
and religious fanaticism.

Third, we can
multiply the energy of the human mass
by mastering the forces
of the universe,
such as the power of the Sun,
the oceans, the winds,
and the tides.

By the first method
we achieve more food
and general well-being.

By the second
conditions for peace
are created.

By the third
the ability of the human mass
to work and create
is increased.

Any kind of progress
is impossible
unless our efforts
are directed toward increasing
well-being and peace.

In that sense,
the mechanical understanding
of life
is unified
with the teachings
of Buddha and Jesus.
