Some scientists developed the concrete mind in such a degree that they cut the abstract mind and they cannot go higher. This is the greatest disaster for a human being that he cannot for lives break the concrete wall and enter into abstraction.
Some human races have that block, that intellectual block. They are very smart for money, politics, but there is no abstraction. If you say, “God exists, beauty exists,” they say, “what are you talking about? Money exists. Are you crazy? Only money exists. Only power exists. That is all that exists.” They are blocked with their concrete thinking.
