The great question of all questions
at the present time is this:
Taking for granted that the known
and the knowable are bounded on both
sides by the unknowable and the infinitely unknown,
why struggle for that infinite unknown?
Why shall we not be content with the known?
Why shall we not rest satisfied with eating,
drinking and doing a little good to society?
This idea is in the air.
From the most learned professor
to the prattling baby, we are told
to do good to the world, that is all of religion,
and that it is useless to trouble ourselves about
questions of the beyond.
So much is this the case
that it has become a truism.
But fortunately we must
inquire into the beyond.
This present, this expressed,
is only one part of that unexpressed.
The sense universe is,
as it were, only one portion,
one bit of that infinite spiritual
universe projected into the plane
of sense consciousness.
How can this little bit
of projection be explained,
be understood, without knowing that which is beyond?
