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
Thus will react upon man's perceptive apparatus the flood of light
which the awakened intuition will shed upon them and thus will man rise
higher, driven on by the current of life with the mass of materiality,
to a point of complete spiritualization and take additional steps in
that direction which leads to Raja Yoga or the Royal Union with the
divine life of the universe.
Before this step is taken, however, and before the passage from
mechanics to biogenetics is made, as made it must be, man must win a
complete mastery over matter. But this he will do; for more and more
he is learning to put all those forms of labor which are so exacting
as to leave him no time for the development of his higher powers into
the hands of machinery. He will not be free until he has done this
well-nigh completely. This is the task of the intellect and with it
man must win his way to these higher faculties which are destined to
succeed the intellect whereupon he will be ushered out of a life bound
and restricted by mechanics to a life of unimaginable freedom, the
_intuitive life_.
The outcome of these new faculties of perception and the development of
the intuition will be the springing up of a new species of art that,
turning away from appearances and sinking beneath or rising above,
superficialities, will seek to portray in newly found colors, the
plastic essence of things so that we shall have an art which pertains
to the real, superseding that which pertains to the phenomenal.
Language and the need of it will pass away; for man will have outgrown
the use of signs and symbols in his communion with his fellows and will
use the language of the intuition--direct and instantaneous cognition.
Philosophy will be regenerated, re-created. Speculation will give
way to truth and there shall be but one philosophy and that shall be
the _knowledge of the real_. Mathematics, the royal insignia of the
intellectual life, because it can deal only with immobilities, with
segments and parts and has no aptitude for the continuous flow, will
yield its kingdom to a higher form of kinetics which will serve the
intuitive faculty as mathematics now serve the intellect. Science will
then be no longer empirical in its method; but a system of direct and
incontrovertible truths. Religion will rise to meet these changes which
will come in the path of human evolution; and faith will surrender its
place to knowledge. Ethics, recast in a new mold, will deal with the
new aspect of man's relation to his fellowmen. Man, for whose highest
good these ultimate changes will come, will be a new creature, a higher
and better man; and humanity shall evolve a new race. There shall,
indeed, be "a new heaven and a new earth."
THE END.
