Changes

=**Changes**= The concept of metamorphosis is so broad and so useful to the imagination that we can see in every unit in this book a kind of metamorphosis going on. Think about how the //Golden Age// is changed into the iron age...how primitive people are changed into civilized people through the actions of the //God-Teacher//...how I//nnocent// people became //Experienced// as they leave childhood...how the world is //Changed// because of the //Flood//...and how the seasons themselves flow into each other as inevitably as the planets turn.

The implications of the metamorphosis stories: ... the outward form does not necessarily reveal the inner reality ... that change may very well be the only constant ... the human imagination has the power to interpret and transform experience for better or worse

We (modern man) are now, more than ever, the author of change. We have the power to turn paradise into a parking lot---if we will. Modern people bear the burden of directed metamorphosis. What will we become? What will we make of our society? How will we use our imagination? Only TIME will tell!
