Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of the Age, Vol. 1 The thridon between the intuitional and logical faculties is perfectly true, and every-body apprehends it. We see things by sight and in sight; we reason about their properties and te lations. But to eastthe ratiocinative processes generallyinto the term logic, is cramping a large subject. Every truth gained is not only a principle but a method for acquiring new truths. For instance, as soon as we know that every existence was through all spheres; in other words that each thing has its fa miliar correspondence in all the regions of creation; that eve ry mineral has its own ground floor of vegetable, and its own drawing-room of animal, and this of human, and this of social, and this of spiritual life built upon it; then this truth becomes a rule for our looks; we put our eye up to it, and see along it, everywhere and a hieroglyphical consciousness far more impor tant than logic, comes at once into being. The only problem then is, to track any given thing that is under investigation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
