Echoes of Myself

Excerpt from Echoes of Myself: Romantic Studies of the Human Soul I am convinced that science is the great spiritual weapon in the hands of mankind, which shall yet facilitate its life in detail and at large. That it has become otherwise, is because it has been utilized by a few industrial usurers in order that they might follow their ambition and increase their enjoyments. This has been rendered possible by defects in the social system and also by defects in human character and in the soul. The railroad, the telegraph, and all other new mechanical devices or improvements are meant, not for making money for the privileged few, but to facilitate the life of the people. A man ought to be the spiritual universe in miniature and the universe ought to be the huge mow - that is the real meaning of true progress.
