gradually exerted in linear progression with the organic evolu- 

 tion to the utmost expedience by the individual itself, till it 

 reaches the climax of sagacity and skill and is converted into an 

 objective speculative intelligence. 



But speculative and reasoning faculties, analogous to man, 

 are absent in the animal, and especially in the low orders. This 

 eclectical power has been acquired by man through the process of 

 mental and organic evolution in compliance with the determining 

 moral principles of life. Hence, due to these superlative powers, 

 man has swiftly ascended upward to the supremest state of indi- 

 vidual life. 



Yet man's social standing requires moral and economic exer- 

 tion, in order to meet principles of the written and unwritten laws 

 of culture and civilization, which pulsate the very heart of sound 

 society, as well as the heart of the family, where no member will 

 remain untouched. Therefore, man has developed and succeeded 

 in the creation of his language and methods of understanding 

 adequate forms, in order to demonstrate and express with grace 

 his feelings and desires. 



But these causal principles, which have placed man as master 

 throughout the organic kingdom, these very faculties, the results 

 of his intellectual achievements, through the speculative and 

 reasoning powers, have removed him individually from the 

 center of his innate pathetical life. These faculties have induced 

 him to neglect the principles of intuition and voices of life, collec- 

 tively called instinct. 



Although the principles of instinctive being are still dominat- 

 ing in man, although in a passive way, yet they are not competent 

 enough to call the attention of the positive mind to their presence ; 

 because, the mind indulges objectively too much in the external 

 world of gross sensation and mental activity. Consequently, man 

 is induced to think that these secondary forms of intellect (intui- 

 tive intellect) are not worthy to be exerted; consequently, he 

 ignores the passive demonstration of instinct. 



Now, here we arrive at the point of the essential differentia- 

 tion of the two phases of intellect, which divide morally and 

 intellectually humanity from the animal kingdom. The remarka- 

 ble dividing line begins where the manifestation of positive 

 abstraction and deduction sets in. Then as the human mind
