From the Unconscious to the Conscious 



false outlook on things. No! the Single Essence, by 

 whatever name it may be called, creative of numberless 

 representations, does not end in materialising itself in 

 a vain phantasmagoria of worlds, of forms, of beings 

 without past and without future, absurd representations, 

 incoherent, nonsensical worlds, empty phantoms gone 

 almost as soon as created, and vanished without leaving 

 a trace! 



No! And, afortiori, that essence does not materialise 

 worlds of pain serving no purpose but as theatres for a 

 drama of universal, undeserved, useless, and fruitless 

 suffering! 



The fugitive representations are neither incoherent 

 nor unfortunate; it is through them and by them that 

 the one essence which is the sole reality, comes at last 

 to self-knowledge, through the innumerable experiences 

 which it brings with it, individually and collectively, in 

 its parts and as a whole. 



These representations, at last understood, reveal a 

 governing harmony; from them issues the supreme 

 end, a purpose truly divine. This harmony is the 

 immanent concord of each with others, the close solidarity 

 of the individualised parts of the one principle, and their 

 inviolable union in the All. The aim is the acquisition 

 of consciousness, the unlimited transition from the 

 unconscious to the conscious; this transition is the 

 release of all potentialities; it is the realisation in 

 evolution of Sovereign Intelligence^ Sovereign Justice, and 

 Sovereign Good.
