Sentiment: POSITIVE
By the sole fact of his entering into 'Thought,' man represents something entirely singular and absolutely unique in the field of our experience. On a single planet, there could not be more than one centre of emergence for reflexion.
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Man is a spiritual intelligence, who has taken flesh with the object of gaining experience in worlds below the spiritual, in order that he may be able to master and to rule them, and in later ages take his place in the creative and directing hierarchies of the universe.
Man is always more than he can know of himself; consequently, his accomplishments, time and again, will come as a surprise to him.
Man tells his aspiration in his God; but in his demon he shows his depth of experience.
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.
Man is pre-eminently endowed with the power of voluntarily and consciously determining his own point of view.
Man can know his world without falling back on revelation; he can live his life without feeling his utter dependence on supernatural powers.
Man does find in Nature deliverance from himself, oblivion of his past, with peace and purity!
