on the table; but for you or for me to give the limits and
boundaries of ourselves is, I am glad to say, impossible.  That
does not, however, mean that we cannot FEEL and be CONSCIOUS
of ourselves, and of our relations to other selves, and to the
great Whole.  On the contrary I think it is clear that the more
vividly we feel our organic unity with the whole, the less shall
we be able to separate off the local self and enclose it within
any definition.  I take it that we can and do become ever more
vividly conscious of our true Self, but that the mental statement
of it always does and probably always will lie beyond us.  All
life and all our action and experience consist in the gradual
manifestation of that which is within us--of our inner being.
In that sense--and reading its handwriting on the outer world
--we come to know the soul's true nature more and more
intimately; we enter into the mind of that great artist who
beholds himself in his own creation.
