The mystery of space : $b a study of the hyperspace movement in the light of the evolution of new psychic faculties and an inquiry into the genesis and essential nature of space
Browne, Robert T.
Hyperspace
The supreme tendency of life is expression. And this expression,
singularly enough, reaches its most perfect phenomenalization by means
of that movement which results in the multiplication of forms. Despite
the fact, therefore, that the comprehension of reality involves a
gradual turning away from the exclusive occupation of organizing a
multitude of separate and apparently unrelated facts to a monistic
view which at once recognizes the unitariness and co-originality of
all things, of life, mind and form, the intellect will need the
training and development which come from the mastery of diversity. It
is, then, not difficult to perceive the wise utilitarianism of the
present schematism of things as shown in the universal tendency in the
intellect to devote itself exclusively to parts or segments of truth.
Whenever an individual intellectuality, on account of prolonged
thought and the consequent inurement of the mind to higher and higher
vibrations of the kosmic intellect, brings itself to such a high point
of sensitiveness that it can receive so much as an intimation of some
great truth, it begins to sense, in a more or less vague way, something
of the substance and general tendence of the underlying reality of that
which foreshadows its appearance. Then, confounded by the multiformal
characteristics of kosmic truth because of the fact that it presents
itself in such numerous ways and forms, men often are induced to
attempt the reformation of all facts, or a great mass of kindred
facts, in accordance with the newly-found fact or principle. They
forget evidently that no fact in the universe can be at variance with
any other fact and still be a fact. So that in the totality of facts
every separate and distinct fact must be congruent with every other
fact forming a beautiful, harmonious and symmetrical whole; but often
the whole is made to suffer in the attempt at making it conform to the
substance of a mere intimation. Moreover, it is conceivable that even
the totality of facts may lack a rigid conformity with reality in all
its parts and that having compassed the entire mass of facts one may
fall short of the understanding of realism.
