sage of time it brings forth new things ; things that 

 are ultimate in their nature, things that can be known 

 only by experiencing them. Life itself does not ap- 

 pear in final form, once for all. It transforms, it 

 develops ; repeatedly and continuously it brings forth 

 things that are new. As its sensations, emotions, ideas, 

 knowledge, purposes, and other mental things arise, 

 they alter the happenings in the universe; they 

 change its methods of action, the laws of its motions. 

 Life moves in multifarious directions, yielding va- 

 riety unlimited. It progresses in certain directions 

 toward diversification and fulness and adequacy. It is 

 progressing in the present as it has in the past. In 

 the future, it may be expected to advance as it has 

 done in the past — to heights that no one can predict, 

 to which no one can set limits.
