Excerpt from Laws of Life After the Mind of Christ: Discourses Theirs is the peace Of St. Paul's natural man, not necessarily a carnal man - there is no occasion to descend so low - but of every part of the man except the spiritual man, Of the intellectual man, who can live in the most intimate connections with this mysterious Universe, and occupy himself with all its secrets and all its grandeur, and by some strange blindness or security, not discern that the Seen is the symbol of the Unseen, nor feel the awful depths on which he is ¿oating for a moment an entranced spec tator, Of warm-hearted men, whose dearest part of Life is in human Love, but with whom, through some fatality Of constitution, or of unre¿ecting habit, the daily hunger Of the Heart never divinely fortifies the Heart, nor Opens the eyes Of the Spirit. Yes, it cannot be denied, there are men Of great intellects, of noble hearts, whose pursuits are all high, whose a¿'ections are all pure, who yet, in their loftier and larger sphere, have no surer Peace than the peace of the Child upon the lap of Nature, blessed up to the fulness Of faculty with her freshness and variety, her inexhaustible wonders, her sunshine, her freedom, and her ¿owers, with no desires unmet - the kind Of Peace ascribed to Adam in Eden before the consciousness Of a diviner life, the con¿ict with a higher Will, arose within him.
