Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency.
Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.
What the human being sees, what is poured into his environment, becomes a force in him. In accordance with it, he forms himself.
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
The other thing in composition is opening up the unconscious.
A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works.
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Progressively saved by the machine from the anxieties that bound his hands and mind to material toil, relieved of a large part of his work and compelled to an ever-increasing speed of action by the devices which his intelligence cannot help ceaselessly creating and perfecting, man is about to find himself abruptly plunged into idleness.
A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
