Is it not worth while?
This Modulus and Theorem of the School of Natural Science involve Religion, Regeneration, Redemption, and the well-being of Souls here and hereafter.
They separate Religion from Superstition, Duty from Dogma, cast out Fear, release the wings of aspiration and faith; and where “the mourners went about the streets” is heard a new song of rejoicing that binds up the wounds and sorrows of the brokenhearted.
Again I ask, “Is it not worth while?”
CHAPTER II
EMPIRICAL AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Let us bear in mind that man is an Individual Intelligence; that this involves self-consciousness, or awareness of Self, the innate ability to distinguish between the Self and the non-Self. Hence arises the power of choice, discernment, or discrimination.
There also arises the impulse to act, or the Initiative, called the Will. This also involves the power of restraint, the act or the refraining from action.
