inate the symbol-All language merely symbolical-The
thing symbolized constitutes the substance-The effect of
language a melody of ideas-Effect produced by the ar-
rangement of words-Desymbolized ideas the key to science
-Nature the expression of a definite order Nature not
what it expresses-Science poetic-Imperfect medium.
through which we have derived science-Sciences separated
by imperfection-Vanity a veil to inspiration and revelation
-Scientists manifest the ideal of religious orders-No short
cut to science-Effect of failure to find soul in the body—
Error of teaching soul was in the body-Inspiration to re-
search-Individual characteristics the expression of a
mighty force-Common ground of religion, science and
philosophy-Seers and scientists see the same light—Revela-
tion must become education-Chemical analysis not science
-Education should awaken the desire for knowledge of the
invisible God, our fellowman and nature.

CHAPTER V

ORIGIN OF MATERIAL SPECIES

Limitations of mental vision-Weight and density of
matter relative-Rock formations a remarkable history—
Puny nature of human history-Fossil and human history
both accidental-Investigation of the power that induces
investigation, necessary-Danger of thought analysis-
Death a deceiving influence-Process of the ages dissolves
the conclusions of the past-Science a search for truth—
What is the source of intelligence-Naming not explaining
-Human mind wandering phenomena-Origin of species
not the origin of the first species-Origin of the first species
-Origin of plant life-Ideas the result of concentration-
Adaptation of the unseen to the seen-Action of chemistry
mental-Mind something higher than the activity of matter
-Origin of nerves-Origin of the consciousness of flesh-
Influence of the invisible on nature.

CHAPTER VI

LIFE

A knowledge of life necessary to prevent death-Obvious
methods of nutrition deceiving-Activities of the obvious not
life-Life self-sustaining-Cause not in manifestation—
Causeless phenomena-Relative laws of phenomena re-
garded as intelligence-The fourth dimension-Regenera-
tion-Organized phenomena not life-Human brain and
vibration-Immaterial mind vibrationless-Voiceless truth
-Necessity of increasing our receptive capacity.

CHAPTER VII

THE ULTIMATE IMMATERIAL ELEMENT-ITS EFFECT ON
HUMAN LIFE AND THOUGHT

Felt-out mind the activity of the mass called matter-
Has no consciousness-Merely a system-Can be changed
by a slow process of variation-Has no reasoning power-
The thought-out mind conscious-Birth of comparative
analysis-Feeling mind dominated by fear-More active
in the thinking mind-Cowardice an attribute of the feeling
mind-Courage evidence of the influence of the Ultimate
Element Origin of reforms and prophets-Birth of con-
scious mental species-Tragedies of life due to the mesmeric
influence of the feeling mind-Failure of science to explain
prophetic vision-Evil effect of the human interpretation
of the Ultimate Element-Human consciousness dethroned-
Demand of the feeling mind yields to the Absolute-Ac-
quired traits and unnatural appetites the first to yield—
Restores the natural to its natural condition-Will correct
a diseased mentality-Explains minds-Wandering phe-
nomena not man-Knowledge derived from nature tends
toward enlightenment-Explanation of phenomena made
possible by the Ultimate Element-Highly developed con-
sciousness the channel of realization of the Absolute-Per-
version of the Absolute by the human mind-Warfare of
nature overcome by the Ultimate Element-Laws of God
expressed in action-Cause of religious persecution-

Wonderful power in the reach of man-Sensation destroyed
-Dangers of celibacy-Applied science and metaphysics-
Melody of ideas-Disappearance of the symbol-Slight
knowledge of the Ultimate Element helpful.

CHAPTER VIII

INDUCED ACTIVITIES

Analagous to induced electric currents--Sidereal activ-
ities Mysterious and intangible - Deceptive nature-
Source of secondary sex traits Debasing influence
Dangerous to teacher and student- Pictured in Jewish
allegory-Origin of personal devil-Graphically described
in the Book of Job-Responsible for psychic phenomena-
Subject of innumerable volumes under the name of mesmer-
ism—Of no use to mankind-Responsible for mistaken idea
of nature Necessity for understanding-Responsible for
misrepresentation and malice-The nemesis of religion-
Perverting influence on civilization.

CHAPTER IX

DIFFICULTIES OF THE THEORY

Comprehensive questions-Limited view of writers-
Receptive faculty undervalued-Inexplainable awakenings
-Evolution not an intelligent force-Special and constant
interventions of the miraculous-Makers of gods-Nature
of Prophecy Nature of God-Inspired and revealed
science-Difficulty in realizing the Absolute-Elimination
of the symbol necessary-Impossibility of obvious demon-
stration Failure of nature to explain nature-Spontaneous
generation-Possibility of laboratory demonstration of life
-Value of false conclusions-Impossibility of creating good
-Power derived from intelligence-Fragmentary nature
of works on mental causes-Discoveries often re-statements
-Negative nature of the human mind-Impossibility of
arguing a lie out of existence-Science of desymbolization—
Indefinite nature of works on mind-Sub-conscious mind
and inspiration-Regretable style of writing.

CHAPTER X

SEARCHING FOR TRUTH

Impossibility of making an absolute statement in human

words-Time, place and chance irrelevant-Senses and

egotism—Limited meaning of human words-Causes of con-

fusion Influence of science on the religious world—

Chronology and events-Natural science and the mutable—

The immutable self-explained-The beginning God-Law

of cohesion-Deceptive nature of the human mind-Nature

of death-Cause of idea of immortality-Nature not an

entity-Impossible to convince the human mind-The sub-

stance of the whole matter—Mistaken ideas of the defenders

of God-Huxley's key to science-Insufficiency of re-

ligion-Lack of humility-Different strata of mind-The

dilemma of the conscious identity-The quickening power-

Origin of confusion-Battles with the elements-The Ab-

solute and the Fourth Dimension-The destiny of man a

useful and natural life.

CHAPTER XI

TELEOLOGY

Emerging from nature into the Absolute-Natural

science a system rather than a science-Cause of descent—

Ratio of change-Sense of location-Formative conscience—

Origin of natural science-Dual consciousness-Origin of

right and wrong-Retrograde periods-Progress and hate-

Adam and intelligent man-Mystery of good and evil

solved Origin of diseased species-Too much importance

attached to the thinking mind-Feeling mind and thought—

Thinking mind and habit—Only one disease-Environment

and the feeling mind-The human soul-Miracles explained

-Conclusions.

CHAPTER XII

-Secret of education-Pain an experience only-Cause of
pain in the felt-out mind-Sense of pain in the thought-out
mind-Faith and substance Origin of diseased species—
Process of potentialization of words.

CHAPTER XV

PHYSIOLOGY

The most useful application of science-What is life—
What is death-What is matter-Necessity of humility-
The felt-out mind complete in itself—Immaterial medium
