"[
William Blake's] vision of the infinite in everything is common to East and West; what is distinctly Western, out of the Jews, is the voice of honest indignation against every institution which would deny or demean the infinity within each human soul. The release of our full human potential—to let the light of
Prometheus shine everywhere—is the distinctly
Western mystic tradition and does not appear in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, or any Eastern religion."
