…e may now devote a little attention to the consideration of this " plane," about which a great deal of nonsense has been written. When a man shuts his eyes and begins to look about him, at first there is nothing but darkness. If he continues trying to penetrate the gloom, a new pair of eyes gradually opens.

THE PILLAR OF CLOUD OBSESSED by the chimera of his mind, lost in the labyrinth of his imagination, man wanders on through the shadowy dream- land he himself has begotten, slothfully accepting or eagerly rejecting, but ever seeking some unobtainable freedom, some power which will release him from those shackles he has in his studied folly and capricious ignorance welded to his thoughts. Nothing contents him, nothing satisfies him ; if he is not weeping he is laughing, if he is not laughing he is weeping; he grumbles and applauds, despises and re…
