been richer and happier for the experience, and ready for yet further experience; higher experience; for we soon tire of one kind and reach out for the new. Thus we grow.

But what did "I" do? "I" weighed "good and evil" ( being then too ignorant to know that all is good), and chose to grant the desire of the "guardian angel" side of me, the subjective, and it was content because its desire was gratified. So it was ready for yet higher experience.

Not so with the objective side, which was hungry, its desire ungratified still.

Now these two departments of my nature are interdependent, and neither can be at ease, happy, unless the other is; any more than my head can be happy if I have a pain in my chest, or if my stomach cries for food.

Therefore, through ignorance of the fact that "I" am all good, all my desires (hungers) legitimate, and their gratification a necessity to further growth; "I" fed one-half my desires and denied the other half, which never ceased to cry out, "The joy I lost would have been worth" all the subjective suffering it cost.

So "I" am still unhappy, unsatisfied, not ready to go on. This regret will rankle in me.

This desire for "life's sweets and pleasures" may be deadened in me for a time, but sooner or later it will be gratified, for it is the call of the indestructible I for what I must have in order to grow.

If "I" starve this objective side of me too long, I shall die. But death is only a gateway into another state of being, and I shall take the result of all my experiences, with all my ungratified longings, into this new state.

Perhaps the new state will be (as I am inclined to believe),
