existence
is fundamentally active. A third characteristic has only been briefly
referred to, namely, existence is also social. So far are we from being
isolated or subjective beings, that life would be impossible were it not
for our dependence on one another. The discovery of the self is a social
discovery. We become aware that other beings are here before we know that
we exist. The self is discovered by contrast with another self ministering
unto us. From the first moment, we live in a social world and we can never
get outside of it. There is every reason, therefore, for the development
of a social rather than an individualistic system out of the fundamental
facts of consciousness. All parts of life are inextricably bound together.
The study of existence from the point of view of consciousness does not
in any way impoverish our conception of life; it greatly enlarges it. Thus
we return to the point of view of the universe of manifestation. In the
profoundest sense we must understand the divine order, and the relationship
of souls in that order, before we can truly evaluate either the phenomena
of nature or the activities of mind.
