The Blind Leading The Blind

"It seems strange to me that although man has thought it necessary in the course of his development in civilization to cultivate the potentialities of what he calls 'mind', 'soul' and 'body', he has not so far seen the need for maintaining in satisfactory condition the functioning of the sensory processes through which these potentialities manifest themselves. As a result, the functioning of his sensory processes has become so unsatisfactory that the use of his mechanisms is constantly misdirected in his efforts to 'do', and when he tries to put right the results of this misdirection, he has no other criterion for self-critism to guide him in these attempts but that of the untrustworthy sensory processes which originally led him into error."
