guidances, and intuitions, fearing to subject our inmost life to the scrutiny of the intellect. Thus the reasons for not acquiring insight resolve themselves into arguments against the cultivation of individual powers of thought.

Insight as I shall employ the term is illumined reason, a synthesis of intuition and other mental products with the finer processes of constructive thought. It begins in the life of feeling, hence we may look for its sources amidst such interests in psychical experiences as we find in our day. It advances from the level of mere impressions, presentiments, leadings, and guidances to that of intuition, conscience, the inner light. It becomes more intellectual in proportion as it becomes philosophical. It is allied with sympathy, with love, and the other benevolent affections, hence a man grows in insight through the development of the altruistic life. Insight is an attainment rather than an endowment because however gifted no one really possesses insight until his faith and his leadings have met the varied tests of experience and constructive thought. What is imperative is a clue to the ideal elements in the cosmos, in events, in men, in experiences that tend to become moral and spiritual. He who possesses insight has a hope, a power to uplift and lead unsurpassed even by those who have a great measure of elemental love.
