The Book of the Damned
·

If
all
things
are
of
a
oneness,
which
is
a
state
intermediate
to
unrealness
and
realness,
and
if
nothing
has
succeeded
in
breaking
away
and
establishing
entity
for
itself,
and
could
not
continue
to
"exist"
in
intermediateness,
if
it
should
succeed,
any
more
than
could
the
born
still
at
the
same
time
be
the
uterine,
I
of
course
know
of
no
positive
difference
between
Science
and
Christian
Science--and
the
attitude
of
both
toward
the
unwelcome
is
the
same--"it
does
not
exist."
A
Lord
Kelvin
and
a
Mrs.
Eddy,
and
something
not
to
their
liking--it
does
not
exist.
Of
course
not,
we
Intermediates
say:
but,
also,
that,
in
Intermediateness,
neither
is
there
absolute
non-existence.
Or
a
Christian
Scientist
and
a
toothache--neither
exists
in
the
final
sense:
also
neither
is
absolutely
non-existent,
and,
according
to
our
therapeutics,
the
one
that
more
highly
approximates
to
realness
will
win.
A
secret
of
power--
I
think
it's
another
profundity.
Do
you
want
power
over
something?
Be
more
nearly
real
than
it.
We'll
begin
with
yellow
substances
that
have
fallen
upon
this
earth:
we'll
see
whether
our
data
of
them
have
a
higher
approximation
to
realness
than
have
the
dogmas
of
those
who
deny
their
existence--that
is,
as
products
from
somewhere
external
to
this
earth.
In
mere
impressionism
we
take
our
stand.
We
have
no
positive
tests
nor
standards.
Realism
in
art:
realism
in
science--they
pass
away.
In
1859,
the
thing
to
do
was
to
accept
Darwinism;
now
many
biologists
are
revolting
and
trying
to
conceive
of
something
else.
The
thing
to
do
was
to
accept
it
in
its
day,
but
Darwinism
of
course
was
never
proved:
