co-ordination of life. This is tantamount
to saying that a man shall know truth only so far as he practises virtue,
the many-sided virtue of beauty, symmetry. If a philosopher would solve
his speculative problems, let him then take a step in advance in his life.
If he would know how to take this step let him test this proposition: A
spiritual or philosophical state of mind has an unconscious or subconscious
dynamic value. To regain this higher state one may either put one's self
in a spiritually receptive mood, or gradually think one's self there by
philosophising. With the exalted thought comes an exalted feeling. Gently,
moderately, enter into and possess this sentiment and rest there. Do not
merely think about eternity, about peace, and beauty, and love. But feel
yourself one with love at peace, in eternity--a beautiful soul. Do not
underestimate yourself. Do not condemn or despise yourself. Think not now
of the weight of years and the burdens of inheritance. These higher thoughts
of yours are actual intimations of immortality. "My words are spirit
and are life." Peace and joy be with you--the peace of God, and the
joy that knows no reaction.
This is all very well as a statement
of religious mood, the student may reply, but this does not show that there
is a mood large enough to embrace all the contrasts, contradictions, and
incongruities
