Evolution towards the Ideal of Human Unity
But
the relations of the spirit and the reason need not be, as they too often are
in our practice, hostile or without any point of contact. ...
What is impossible or absurd to the
unaided reason, becomes real and right to the reason lifted beyond itself by
the power of the spirit and irradiated by its light. For then it is dominated
by the intuitive mind which is our means of passage to a yet higher principle
of knowledge. The widest spirituality does not exclude or discourage any essential
human activity or faculty, but works rather to lift all of them up out of their
imperfection and groping ignorance, transform them by its touch and makes them
the instruments of the light, power and joy of the divine being and the divine
nature. -p126
