From the Unconscious to the Cons cious 



The causes of pain due to nature, to vital and 

 physiological necessities, to social conditions only worthy 

 of savages, will be greatly reduced under progress of 

 every kind. 



Moral suffering also will diminish in frequency and 

 prevalence. It is hard to imagine an evolved humanity 

 subject to the numberless troubles which are now due 

 to hatred, jealousy, and love. Love will be what it 

 ought to be a source of joy only; it is now the greatest 

 source of pain and too often resembles the worst mental 

 diseases. 



The sufferings which have been called the malady 

 of thought, will disappear by the single fact that 

 humanity will have a clear view of its own destiny 

 and purpose, and of those of the universe. 



Concurrently with the lessened causes of suffering 

 there will be, naturally and inevitably, an accession of 

 causes for happiness. 



The development of intuition and consciousness, of 

 psychic and metapsychic faculty, of the aesthetic and 

 moral sense will multiply tenfold the emotions of joy 

 and will make possible a harvest of contentment of 

 which we can as yet scarcely form a notion. 



The realisation of sovereign good, in a word, will 

 necessarily and inevitably accompany the realisation of 

 sovereign consciousness and sovereign justice.
