SIGNIFICANCE OF INVOLUTION 161 



the great process occurs in every division of the rational 

 understanding; its function is, in every category where 

 the laws of reason reign, to point aloft to an appropriate 

 limit beyond their range, to some ideal form above the 

 laws: in the category of classes, to an ideal universe as 

 the manifold of all; in the realm of propositions or that 

 of relations, to the sum or the product of all propositions 

 or all relations ; in that of time, to eternity ; in knowledge, 

 to omniscience; in ubiety, to omnipresence; in power to 

 omnipotence ; in order and law, to necessity or fate ; in in- 

 determination, to absolute freedom or self-determination; 

 in wisdom or love, to the " beauty absolute " of Plato's 

 dream ; and so on and on throughout the circuit and scope 

 of rational thought. And so it is that the realm of super- 

 rational reality the ultimate source of the religious 

 emotions thus indicated by the supernalising process 

 of idealisation operating in the fields of reason, presents 

 itself as an over-world of ideals." 



C. J. KEYSER: The New Infinite 

 and the Old Theology. 



This is the doctrine he was wont to teach, 



How divers persons witness in each man, 



Three souls which make up one soul: first, to wit, 



A soul of each and all the bodily parts, 



Seated therein, which works, and is what Does, 



And has the use of earth, and ends the man 



Downward : but, tending upward for advice, 



Grows into, and again is grown into 



By the next soul, which, seated in the brain, 



Useth the first with its collected use, 



And f eeleth, thinketh, willeth, is what Knows : 



Which, duly tending upward in its turn, 



Grows into, and again is grown into
