I would venture to extend the range of the term 'soul' down to a very large denominator,--to cases in which the magnitude of the fraction becomes excessively minute,--and tentatively admit to the possibility of survival, though not individual survival, every form of life. As to Individuality and Personality--they can only survive where they already exist; when they really exist they persist; but bare survival, as an alternative to improbable extinction, may be widespread. Matter forms an instrument, a means of manifestation, but it need not be the only one possible. We have utilised matter to build up this beautiful bodily mechanism, but, when that is done with, _the constructive ability remains_; and it can be expected to exercise its organising powers in other than material environment. If this hypothesis be true at all (and admittedly I am now making hypothesis) _it must be true of all forms of life_; for what the process of evolution has accomplished here may be accomplished elsewhere, under conditions at present unknown.[37] So I venture to surmise that the surroundings of non-material existence will be far more homely and habitual than people in general have been accustomed to think likely. And how do I know that the visible material body of anything is all the body, or all the existence, it possesses? Why should not things exist also, or have etherial counterparts, in an etherial world? Perhaps everything has already an etherial counterpart, of which our senses tell us the material aspect only. I do not know. Such an idea may be quoted as an absurdity; but if the evidence drives me in that direction, in that direction I will go, without undue resistance. There have been those who do not wait to be driven, but who lead; and the inspired guidance of Plotinus in that direction may secure more attention, and attract more disciples, when the way is illuminated by discoverable facts. Meanwhile facts await discovery. * * * * * Passages from Plotinus, it may be remembered, are eloquently translated by F. W. H. Myers, from the obscure and often ungrammatical Greek, in _Human Personality_, vol. ii. pp. 289-291; and readers of S.P.R. _Proceedings_, vol. xxii, pp. 108-172, will remember the development by Mrs. Verall of the [Greek: kai autos ouranos akumôn] motto prefixed to F. W. H. Myers's post-humously published poem on Tennyson in _Fragments of Prose and Poetry_.
