...many primitive sects, one of the strangest is the orgiastic Shakta. The five elements of Shakta worship are madya (liquor), mamsa (meat), matsya (fish), mudra (grain), and maithuna (sexual intercourse), and it has long been their custom to worship the Hindu goddess Shakti by seeking unity of body and soul in communal sex rites. Such is kanchalia dharam, the ceremony of the blouse...
Judging from the present development of the building, there does not seem to be any provision for natural lighting. Perhaps utter darkness, inducing meditation, will grip the interior, symbolizing the ignorance in which man's soul is thrashing about. And, after a few moments of this thrashing about, the darkness will motivate our logical, expedient MIT student (and all MIT students ARE logical and expedient) with a desire to come out into the natural light...
...accessible doorways present themselves to permit entrance into this uninterrupted mass of red brick. This would suggest that we are dealing with a temple constructed for the soul, not for the body. However, arch indentations do appear at sea-level, but these are entirely inaccessible unless the student is an apt swimmer, or comes prepared with waterwings; for a moat encircles our ivory tower.

...series Suzuki next turned into an angry black scrawl, faded into heavy yellow and black (Soul Fading), then dramatically changed into a thick impasto of blues, orange, black, with lines scratched out by Ray's palette knife. Believing that "the artist, like physicists, must use the abstract to get to the concrete," Ray's next two portraits of Suzuki were abstractions of opposing lines. No. 7 stopped most viewers in their tracks. It was a startling blank canvas, washed in with cloudy browns. But Taoist Lecturer Dr. C. Y. Chang, on hand for the opening, recognized it immediately...
