Money Wisdom #50

"The poet Wolfgang von Goethe... envisaged two great driving forces in nature: polarity and intensification. Polarity was associated with the material dimension, as 'a state of constant attraction and repulsion', and intensification gave a spiritual dimension, which was one of 'a state of ever-striving ascent', a kind of evolutionary imperative. On the principle that there could be no matter without mind and no mind without matter, 'matter is also capable of undergoing intensification, and spirit cannot be denied its attraction and repulsion."
