Item 228

Jottings in a notebook

Spring 1942

     Man, the individual, is the epitome of nature, of the Universal. Wrought out of the universal nature and into his nature is all the substance, all the power and all the potentialities that he has. His likeness to the universal, his finite identity with it, guarantees its congruency with him and his to it. The system of nature, whatever it may be, is wrought into him as into itself and all of its parts. Its processes are his processes, its methods his methods, its order his order. To this most obvious and apparent truth he owes all his power to perceive the order and system in which he lives, for his knowledge of nature and its laws is his knowledge of him­self — his realization of himself.
