If this be true, and it is readily demonstrable, what subject is of equal importance; and what facts and considerations are so transcendent as these? The difference is that between a mad-house with its frenzied and frightened mob of helpless victims, and a palace of the gods in which dwelleth Righteousness, Love, Peace, and Eternal Joy. 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. This action, under the basic endowment--intelligence--is called _Rational Volition_. There is thus, Intelligence; the Power to choose; the power to act and the adaptation of acts or restraints to ends, or to desired objects or results. Experience teaches the individual, thus endowed, that he is responsible for all he thinks, feels, acts and does; and this, under his endowment of Intelligence, is what we call _Conscience_. We are not building up a theory, but simply analyzing psychological facts, demonstrated as true in the experience of every intelligent individual. Just as the chemist analyzes a compound he finds in his laboratory. Our _Modulus_ is the Perfect Man. Our _Theorem_ is the method of use that, by experience and observation everywhere, has been demonstrated as Constructive, enabling the Individual to build toward, and to realize the Modulus. The power to discriminate, choose and act, when normally exercised, implies judgment and understanding. Hence, we have perception, rational choice, intelligent action and desired results, for which we recognize our personal responsibility. Hence arise our ability and necessity to _review_ our actions, motives, aims and their results, and to pass judgment upon them in the Light of Conscience (Con-Science, to know the Self) to pass judgment upon ourselves as to motives, aims, results, and consequences.
