The Book of the Damned
·

Our
expression
is
that
our
whole
existence
is
animation
of
the
local
by
an
ideal
that
is
realizable
only
in
the
universal:
That,
if
all
exclusions
are
false,
because
always
are
included
and
excluded
continuous:
that
if
all
seeming
of
existence
perceptible
to
us
is
the
product
of
exclusion,
there
is
nothing
that
is
perceptible
to
us
that
really
is:
that
only
the
universal
can
really
be.
Our
especial
interest
is
in
modern
science
as
a
manifestation
of
this
one
ideal
or
purpose
or
process:
That
it
has
falsely
excluded,
because
there
are
no
positive
standards
to
judge
by:
that
it
has
excluded
things
that,
by
its
own
pseudo-standards,
have
as
much
right
to
come
in
as
have
the
chosen.
Our
general
expression:
That
the
state
that
is
commonly
and
absurdly
called
"existence,"
is
a
flow,
or
a
current,
or
an
attempt,
from
negativeness
to
positiveness,
and
is
intermediate
to
both.
By
positiveness
we
mean:
Harmony,
equilibrium,
order,
regularity,
stability,
consistency,
unity,
realness,
system,
government,
organization,
liberty,
independence,
soul,
self,
personality,
entity,
individuality,
truth,
beauty,
justice,
perfection,
definiteness--
That
all
that
is
called
development,
progress,
or
evolution
is
movement
toward,
or
attempt
toward,
this
state
for
which,
or
for
aspects
of
which,
there
are
so
many
names,
all
of
which
are
summed
up
in
the
one
word
"positiveness."
At
first
this
summing
up
may
not
be
very
readily
acceptable.
At
first
it
may
seem
that
all
these
words
are
not
synonyms:
that
"harmony"
may
mean
"order,"
but
that
by
"independence,"
for
instance,
we
do
not
mean
"truth,"
or
that
by
"stability"
we
do
not
mean
"beauty,"
or
"system,"
or
"justice."
