Conscious Evolution

“We must be conscious because our era, the anticipated new era, will not take the form of earlier cultures, when unconscious elements pressed from below instinctively and animalistically. Humankind has reached the point where, by taking the future in its own hands, it must recognize clearly what to do next. Thus we will find the way to that which is divine within us.”          

–Richard Wilhelm (German Sinologist, Theologian and Missionary, 1873-1930)

Cosmos Not Chaos

“In the last analysis the world is a system of homogeneous relationships – it is a cosmos, not a chaos. This belief is the foundation of Chinese philosophy, as of all philosophy.”

–Richard Wilhelm (German Sinologist, Theologian and Missionary, 1873-1930)
