Human Evolution and the “Fall.”
1896 original text, YOGeBooks typeset transcription; original text extent only
The great upward trend, with its all-inclusive scope, brushes away all pessimism, and its numerous brood of uncanny shadows and spectres. When rightly interpreted, these and all other human woes are but temporary wayside prods, to hurry us along to higher and more beautiful outlooks. To turn back is to invite friction. To drop down in conditions is to make them more binding; but partnership with law recreates them. We must focus our vision upon the expanding divinity within, which has long ago been involved, and is now pressing for expressive evolvement.
