The "brain-wave," or "vividness," or attention period, is not a constant, but attaches itself to the contents of consciousness. In other words, it does not function without material. It is itself conditioned by its occasion. In the case of a regularly repeated stimulus, it is simply adjusted to what is there, and out of the series chooses, as it were, one at regular periods.<2>
In fine, our political life is still dominated by nationalism rather than race, and practical politics are thus conditioned, not by what men really are, but by what they think they are. The late war is a striking case in point. That war is very generally regarded as having been one of "race." The idea certainly lent to the struggle much of its bitterness and uncompromising fury.
He had four or five sons, uneducated, ill- conditioned, drunken fellows, who had all their father's faults without his energy, some of whom had been in prison, and all of whom were known as pests to the colony.
We have now arrived at a point where we can better realise that the Absolute cannot be localised or bounded by space, and must be Omnipresent cannot be conditioned in Time, and must therefore be Omniscient the Here comprising all Space, and the Now all Time in the "Reality of Being." With these conclusions before us I will ask you to form a new conception of Creation.
"If I live to be a hundred, I shall be able to draw a line," said Hokousai. It was as if he had said, "I shall be able to create a world." The pressing effects of Imperialism in such an environment, its swift influences upon the life of an age thus conditioned, thus sharply defined from all preceding ages, are of an import which it would be hard to over-estimate.
One would suppose it impossible that a thinking man, who has ever observed a child, could be of any other opinion; why seek ghosts behind matter? Mind is a function of living organisms, which belongs also to a goose and a chicken. Then, Max, why not be content with the limits of our knowledge, conditioned by experience, and give up this infamous romancing and tyrannical lying?
These may be supposed to have accumulated from irregular gifts; but as the child grows older he should come into receipt of a regular definite allowance, perhaps conditioned upon his performance of some stated duty.
In place of these rights the constitution of the Third Reich guarantees to the individual his place in the community of the people: The legal position of the individual member of the people forms an entirely new concept which is indispensable for the construction of a nationalistic order. The legal position of the individual is always related to the community and conditioned by duty.
Slawson tells me, your father was Judge Lang of Michigan?" "Yes Grand Rapids." "You are a college graduate?" "Wellesley." "You have taught before?" "I tutored a girl throughout a whole summer. Prepared her for her college entrance exams." "She passed creditably?" "She wasn't conditioned in anything." "How are you on discipline?" "I don't know." "You have had no experience?
A number of girls in the literary course of the University attend the medical lectures in certain departments, some teach students who are "conditioned" in certain branches. From all the colleges, the report in this respect is the same girls can easily do all that is required of the young men, but they will do more.
