“All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes the poison.” There isn't anything that is essentially poisonous. It is the concentration of it that makes it poisonous. Paracelsus said that in the 16th century. There are real scientists whose work is worth reading. There may even be such scientists now, but we don't know about them because that is an area with a concentration that has made it a poison, and that poison is MONEY and POWER. It is the same thing with poets and painters, and all the rest of the culture of the arts, that makes culture vital and is itself not poisonous. Here too, look what we have... another poisonous concentration, and nothing else is admitted.

Sometimes it is far better not to succeed because the times themselves contain many more concentrations of poison that you can just run into; like a cloud of confusion, say... This is why it is better not to live in a city because the karma of that level of concentration of humanity is creating a lot of poison. You find much more of certain poisons in a city. They have their own celebrated places to congregate. Nature has a much more restorative capacity in Nature itself because... UNLIKE IN THE CITIES... it is not twisted out of shape until it is permanently twisted and bent out of shape... in its capacities to express the qualities of God.
