“A society which advances economically must become unstable and collapse through that advance unless, through an equal advance in psychology, it can gain a proportionately self-conscious knowledge of its inner nature. This ‘law’ stated in familiar historical language becomes: The Society which does not make and continue to make religious discoveries as radical as its material discoveries, must rapidly increase in ill-distributed wealth and power; will generate increasingly neuroses, ill-will and violence; and must finally (if it can so long long escape internal anarchy) become wholly militarized, devote itself to destruction and collapse,” – Gerald Heard, The Source of Civilization (1935).
