Regarded as a work postulating a new spiritual point of view, it was vague and unsatisfying. It was without form and void. It desired that most unsatisfying thing, a religion with no dogmas: those stakes which preserve the ground on which grow the flowers of religious truth, from those who come but to spoil and destroy.
Postulating some generalization as the goal of the movement of humanity, the historians study the men of whom the greatest number of monuments have remained: kings, ministers, generals, authors, reformers, popes, and journalists, to the extent to which in their opinion these persons have promoted or hindered that abstraction.
And if this view of saintly ecstacies, postulating the transmutation of sex-force into spiritual channels, be objectionable, what can be said of the only other view which is possible in the light of the evidence submitted? Our ideas of what constitutes chastity need revising, else we must needs decide that chastity is more a vice than a virtue.
The Law of Conservation of Energy tells us that no energy can be added to or abstracted from the total stock of physical energy in the universe. Hence, the will cannot affect the material world: hence, it cannot be a true cause. Biology contends that heredity and environment alone are capable of explaining the actions and movements of the lower organisms, without postulating any "will."
However, it is our contention that Buddhism, far indeed from postulating the assumption that individual consciousness is swallowed up in The Absolute, as is frequently understood by Occidental translators of Buddhistic writings, announces a calm and unquestioning conviction in the power of man to attain to immortality, and consequent godhood, through contemplation of faith in his own identity with the Supreme One.
Postulating Dicky, I presumed it was Dilly, and I began to piece together in my mind the plot of this elaborate comedy.
In its extreme form legalism tends to bring about that ruin of human nature which it starts by postulating; for, by forbidding Man's higher faculties to energise, it necessarily arrests their development, and so makes it possible for the lower faculties to draw to themselves an undue share of the rising sap of Man's life.
We shall now perceive, I think, what is wrong with the assumptions of the average successful man as set forth in the previous chapter. In postulating that happiness is what one is not, he has got hold of a mischievous conception of happiness. Let him examine his conception of happiness, and he will find that it consists in the enjoyment of love and luxury, and in the freedom from enforced effort.
I then see the offspring, which have no recollection of the fortunate event save through the belly and then we are postulating that the digestion of the carnivorous larva leaves a trace in the memory of the honey-sipping insect I see the offspring, I say, obliged to wait at long intervals for that inspired double thrust and obliged to succeed each time under pain of death for them and their descendants.
His own view, postulating simply a building and location of markedly unsanitary qualities, had nothing to do with abnormality; but he realized that the very picturesqueness which aroused his own interest would in a boy's fanciful mind take on all manner of gruesome imaginative associations.
