Original => Item 28

When thought isn’t conscious, do we call it thought? When we talk about ideas, we don’t mean unconscious tropisms, automatic behavior; we mean conscious thought. Contemplation, delayed action, thinking, is a product of action. But contemplative thinking, can precede and affect action. When thought reflects action, the action of nature or of God’s laws, such understanding enables men to act as nature acts, as God acts; that is, creatively. Such know­ledge is power, spiritual power. The glory of natural science is that it teaches men to think in the same rational way that Nature acts, that God acts. With this kind of knowledge, men can work in freedom creatively and thereby come into partnership with Nature and with God.
