“B”
influences
…These influences are
thrown into the turmoil of life and originate [outside the general laws of
life]. Created outside life, these [influences] are all oriented in the same direction.
In their ensemble they form a sort of magnetic field.
Since “A” influences
neutralize each other, “B” influences actually constitute the only reality…If
man spends his life without distinguishing between “A” and “B” influences
he will end it as he started, one could say mechanically, driven by the Law
of Accident. However, according to the nature and the intensity of the
resultant forces to which he is subjected, it can happen to him to make a
brilliant career, in the meaning the world gives to this expression.
Yet he will come to the end
of his days without having either learned or understood anything of REALITY. And earth returns to Earth.
