"The thought force and the animal force are partners. Although man is part of the animal creation" (in body), "he possesses a power of thought superior to all other created beings. If a man's thought is constantly aspiring towards heavenly subjects, then does he become saintly; if, on the other hand, his thought does not soar, but is directed downwards to center itself upon the things of this world, he grows more... material until he arrives at a state little better than that of a mere animal."
