As soon as you want to do something, everything contrary rises up in a mass … to a degree of stupidity beyond all measure. You want to create Harmony: everyone quarrels! Intelligent people seem to become foolish, they do foolish things—since morning I have been spending my time writing to stop people from doing foolish things Strange. They are intelligent, responsible people, people who have worked for a long time—but … nonsense.
Oh, as soon as there is a little power—the power of light, power of truth, power of love (the aspect of power in things)—as soon as that manifests (gesture of uprising), it creates a terrible confusion: everyone feels full of energy, and with that energy does foolish things! … Then, if you withdraw the Power … (gesture of flattening) flat out—no one does anything anymore!
Anyway …
