Now here; this end, seemingly, to his mind could be achieved in no other more ordinary way. Whether the end could have been achieved in another way makes no difference. Emotionally he did not think or believe that it could be. This added to the strength with which he focused his abilities; and I will have more to say concerning this attitude, which often but not always accompanies such psychic manipulations, even ordinary ones of which you are not aware.

(Making my feelings plain, I thought, without saying much actually, I left the garage and walked down to tell Jane, who by now had left the gallery and was waiting for me outside. I had time during the walk to give some thought to using positive expectation, but had not calmed down enough to try it effectively.

What he is now is not what the religious think he is. Yet once he was only what they think he is now. For in fact he did evolve, and was not complete, but represented–

Now. This absolute, ever-expanding, instantaneous psychic gestalt, which you may call God, if you prefer, is so secure in its existence now that it can constantly break itself down and rebuild itself.

Prayer is now shunned. Why pray if there is no one to listen?
