This part diverges on a topic of class today, of the metaphysical process, wonder, reflection, and articulation.
"In the type of metaphysical or mystical experience which we
are discussing, this feeling of wonder—which has all kinds of
depths and subtleties—is one of two major components. The
other is a feeling of liberation (the Hindu Moksha) which attends
the realization that an immense amount of human activity is di-
rected to the solution of unreal and purely fantastic prob-
lems—to the attainment of goals which we do not actually desire."
