The proof that the growing co-extension
of our soul and the world, through the consciousness
of our relationship with all things, is not simply a matter
of logic or idealisation, but is part
of an

of our actions (that is to say, by the modification
of what is most

New lights have been vouchsafed us — the reality, capable
of definition,
of a Cosmogenesis; the discovery
of a genesis

But while the (d)
