(4) Will introduced wherever effects are observed;
(5) The "real world" regarded as the spiritual world, accessible by means of the facts of consciousness;
(6) Absolute knowledge regarded as the faculty of consciousness, wherever knowledge exists at all.
Consequences:—
Every step forward consists of a step forward in consciousness; every step backwards is a step into unconsciousness (unconsciousness was regarded as a falling-back upon the passions and senses—as a state of animalism ....)
Man approaches reality and real being through dialectics: man departs from them by means of instincts, senses, and automatism....
To convert man into a spirit, would mean to make a god of him: spirit, will, goodness—all one.
All goodness must take its root in spirituality, must be a fact of consciousness.
Every step made towards something better can be only a step forward in consciousness.
