LESSON X.

In their effort to get away from too vivid a consciousness of material things some writers in the New Thought are inclined to depreciate or totally ignore the office of the external world in the evolution of spiritual life. They forget that were it not for external stimulus intelligent expression would be impossible. Shut a child away from all that acts on his senses and his life on this plane would become extinct.

Shut him away partially and in proportion to that shutting away does he lack in expression. We need this touching on the outside to call forth that which is within us.

As Emerson says: "We stand before the secret of the world, there where Being passes into Appearance and Unity into Variety."

That is the place to learn the secret, to stand where Being passes into Appearance and see both Being and Appearance; to stand where Unity passes into Variety and see both Unity and Variety.

To see Being and Unity only or Appearance and Variety only is to stand far off and not be present at the revealing of the secret.

This revealing is going on continually to him who stands before the secret and the revealing is the evolution of the spiritual consciousness,
