"The mind, however, understandeth not whilst the senses have ceased function, and in the embryonic stage and in early infancy the reasoning power is totally absent. (This "mind" you "make up" reaction by reaction.) (Bwf 337- 8) (57:5) "The intermediary between the five outward... and the inward powers is the sense which they possess in common, that is to say, the sense which acts between the outer and inner powers, conveys to the inward powers whatever the outer powers discern. It is termed the common faculty, because it communicates between the outward and inward powers, and thus is common to... (them)." (Bwf 317- 8) (57:6) "Man also has spiritual powers: imagination, which conceives things; thought" (or "faculty of reason", see Oxford Dict) "which reflects upon realities: comprehension which comprehends realities; memory, which retains whatever man imagines, thinks and comprehends." (these are all "inward powers" which you use in "making up your mind)." (Bwf 317) (57:7) "The purpose and object of schools, colleges and universities is to educate man and thereby rescue and redeem him from the exigencies and defects of nature and to awaken within him the capability of controlling and appropriating nature's bounties." "Societies... interested in commerce, science and politics... are for material service of the world of matter." (Pup 347; Pt 67)
(57:8)
