830 Causes and Course of Organic Evolution 



The list might be multiphed indefinitely, and for all of these 

 commodities the consumers gladly welcome and agree to fair 

 exchanges; the competitive exploiter alone upsets the pleasant 

 relation that the producer and consumer of each desire. When 

 a really healthy and dynamic spiritic energy is permitted to 

 flow between the two latter, by elimination of the "break in 

 the current" that the exploiter constitutes, nations will begin 

 to realize how great are the future potentialities of this earth, 

 that many proclaim to be nearing its exploitable end. Cogitic, 

 cognitic, and biotic energy will not ensure this realization, 

 the higher cogitic or moral and the spiritic alone can. 



With such results as the above, that have already been in 

 part secured, and will be enormously increased in the near 

 future, other results will be arranged for, as necessary require- 

 ments for continued progress. Thus, recognizing the funda- 

 mental importance of the law of proenvironment, and the 

 value of the proper balancement of the biotic, cognitic, cogitic, 

 and spiritic planes of human life; by gradual adjustment of 

 the sensory, the motor, and the inhibitory nerves to these, 

 educated mankind will be guided by an aspiring public con- 

 science. This will demand that all literature, educational 

 methods, civic, social, and family life, shall be energized by 

 a throbbing religious sentiment, that will almost unconsciously 

 throw off and reject degraded words and actions that would 

 lower the vitality of "the body social." 



Already some nationalities have advanced along this way 

 and certain of these even much more than others. When 

 a scientific religion, a spiritic principle, that acts as exactly 

 and surely as does gravity, sound, or light, is felt to inspire 

 and even impel each human organism, noblest proenvironal 

 action will follow. 



An outcome of this will be that, instead of the artificial selec- 

 tion that wealth, influence, relationship, and other artificial 

 circumstances foster in filling our high schools, colleges, and 

 universities with young men and women devoid of highest 

 mental and spiritual capacity and aim, only those will be 

 chosen and advanced from grade to grade who come up to
