HUMANITY NEEDS A NEW SOIL -- THE SOIL OF FREEDOM

    HUMANITY HAS STILL NOT BEEN BORN; IT IS STILL IN THE WOMB. What you see as humanity is only a very hocus-pocus phenomenon. UNLESS WE GIVE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM to each person, absolute freedom TO EACH PERSON TO BE HIMSELF, to exist in his own way... Of course, he has not to interfere with anybody -- that is part of freedom. NOBODY SHOULD INTERFERE WITH ANYBODY.
 
    But in the past, EVERYBODY HAS BEEN POKING HIS NOSE INTO EVERYBODY ELSE'S AFFAIRS -- even into things which are ABSOLUTELY PRIVATE, which have nothing to do with the society. For example, YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN -- what that has got to do with the society? It is PURELY A PERSONAL PHENOMENON, it is not of the marketplace.
 
    IF TWO PERSONS ARE AGREEING TO COMMUNE IN LOVE, THE SOCIETY SHOULD NOT COME IN, but the society comes in -- with all its paraphernalia, in direct ways, in indirect ways. The policeman will stand between the lovers; the magistrate will stand between the lovers. And if that is not enough, then THE SOCIETIES HAVE CREATED A SUPER-POLICEMAN, THE GOD, who will take care of you.
 
    THE IDEA OF THE GOD IS THAT OF A PEEPING TOM who does not even allow you privacy in your bathroom, who goes on looking from the keyhole, watching what you are doing... this is ugly. All the religions of the world say God continuously watches you -- this is ugly. What kind of God is this? HAS HE GOT NO OTHER BUSINESS -- watching everybody, following everybody? Seems to be the supreme-most detective!
 
    HUMANITY NEEDS A NEW SOIL -- THE SOIL OF FREEDOM. Bohemianism was a reaction, a necessary reaction, but if my vision succeeds then there will be no bohemianism because THERE WILL BE NO SO-CALLED COLLECTIVE MIND TRYING TO DOMINATE PEOPLE. Then EVERYBODY WILL BE AT EASE WITH HIMSELF.
 
    Of course, YOU HAVE NOT TO INTERFERE WITH ANYBODY, but as far as your life is concerned you have to live it on your own terms. Then only is there creativity. CREATIVITY IS THE FRAGRANCE OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.
