Technology, techniques, methods and processes are only an extended application of Science and Principles and Laws. Therefore, there is a limit to technology and techniques and methods. Unless and until we discover a new science, a new principle or a new law. A technique is nothing more than one form of application of a Principle. The limits of that technique are therefore already set. One may multiply the number of techniques or perfect the existing one, yet one cannot go beyond the limits of the principle on which it works. Too much reliance on a technique without an understanding of its principle is therefore a doubletrap. Firstly it limits us, secondly and what is worse, we do not even realise its limitations. Therefore all kinds of claims, genuine and false, are born and with it arises a dogmatic assertion verging on superstition.

And even in the inner worlds, where no other life-form dares to intrude, man goes...This is one such adventure.

Medicine, like everything else that has the stamp of human creation upon it, evolves with the evolution of mankind. But the cycles of evolution do not always move in a straight line. As historians tell us, humanity has moved through many a curve and spiral of development and retrogression. Of course, when we speak of development we do not refer merely to the technological side but to man as a whole — man in his totality, his self-regard and his relation with the world he inhabits.
