Won’t soul music change now that our souls have turned strange?

—Silver Jews

The goal of the Lemurians was the development of the will, of the faculty of imagination. The education of children was wholly directed toward this. The boys were hardened in the strongest manner. They had to learn to undergo dangers, to overcome pain, to accomplish daring deeds . . . The raising of girls was different. While the female child was also hardened, everything was directed toward her developing a strong imagination. For example, she was exposed to the storm in order calmly to feel its dreadful beauty; she had to witness the combats of the men fearlessly . . . Thereby propensities for dreaming and for fantasy developed in the girl . . .
