Charles Fourier announced that " the attractions of man are proportioned to his destinies ; in other words, that every desire predicts its own satisfaction. Yet all experience exhibits the reverse of this ; the incompetency of power is the universal grief of young and ardent minds. They accuse the divine providence of a certain parsimony. It has shown the heaven and earth to every child and filled him with a desire for the whole ; a desire raging, infinite ; a hunger, as of space to be filled with planets ; a cry of famine, as of devils for

souls. Then for the satisfaction, to each man is administered a single drop, a bead of dew of vital power, per day, a cup as large as space, and one (Jrop of the water of life in it. Each man woke in the morning with an appetite that could eat the solar system like a cake ; a spirit for action and passion without bounds ; he could lay his hand on the morning star ; he could try conclusions with gravitation or chemistry ; but, on the first motion to prove his strength, hands, feet, senses, gave way and would not serve him. He was an emperor deserted by his states, and left to whistle by him self, or thrust into a mob of emperors, all whist ling : and still the sirens sang, " The attractions are proportioned to the destinies. In every house, in the heart of each maiden and of each boy, in the soul of the soaring saint, this chasm is found, between the largest promise of jdealjpower, and the shabby experience.

Egyptian short grammar

NEO-PLATONISM is a progressive philosophy, and does not expect to state final conditions to men whose minds are finite.Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
