Once we lose the Habit, we enter the Great Forest; we are like the blind of a nonexistent world, or a world whose existence... undo all the old mental nightmare and open our true eyes of Matter, who knows? Or the eyes of true Matter. We suddenly break out of our old carbon layer, and it is here. For where is the "supramental substance" that is to make the next being if not in some little outbursts of joy that suddenly reveal to us an unexpected matter, a completely fresh and carefree body, which never knew it could be "like ...
