210 CORRESPONDENCES. 



The doctrines of Series, Circles, Degrees, and correspond- 

 ences, therefore, if properly developed and understood, would 

 be the most efficient of all possible aids to the discovery of 

 that grand system of general truth whose millions of parts are 

 all harmonious, mutually explanatory, and corroborative, of 

 each other. Let the leading minds of the age, then, bestow 

 due attention upon the development of these principles of in- 

 vestigation ; and in proportion as they are comprehended and 

 applied in the world, the conflicts of the various parties in 

 philosophy, theology, and even politics, will be swallowed up 

 in one grand and harmonious system of thought, the creden- 

 tials of whose truthfulness will be borne upon its very face, to 

 be seen and read of all men. With the aid of such a system, 

 properly unfolded, even the child might set out on its course 

 of progression, with the unadulterated truth, and even the 

 whole truth which, though at first in a diminished form of 

 representation, and involved in comprehensive generals, would, 

 as the mind expanded, gradually magnify, and regularly and 

 harmoniously unfold into particulars, for ever and ever. The 

 harmony of thoughts thus brought about in the world, w r ould, 

 in proportion to its degree, be necessarily accompanied with a 

 more intimate and spiritual conjunction with the Divine 

 Source of all harmony, from the perpetual inflowings of whose 

 Love and Wisdom, all the movements of human society, in 

 common with the movements of those planetary and celestial 

 spheres which now, without reservation, own the Divine sway, 

 would proceed without a jar, or a single note of discord. This 

 would be the long-looked fbr, and long-prayed for, reign of 

 God upon earth !
