Being is a very simple conception ; and, as it is applicable to everything to which any kind of existence or reality can be ascribed, it does not present much difficulty. But, just for this reason, it throws no real light on any particular object. Number is a more complex conception, and it is more difficult to see in what ways it can be rightly applied. On the other hand, when it is rightly applied, it may enable us to discover a good deal about the objects to which it is applied. 1 Spiritual Unity is a conception that is still more complex and difficult to apply properly ; but, if we could apply it rightly, it would perhaps give us the key to the general structure of the universe. prev next |
