What reading level is Buddhism And Immortality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By what, then. Is It conditioned ? The answer Is as important as it Is ob- vious. It Is conditioned by your will, — the act of volition that calls the thought of the breakfast Into being, and not by the direct sensory Impres- sions, whose forms and sum It repro- duces. Herein lies the fundamental difference between the consciousness of the breakfast as you eat it, and the consciousness of it that you, being in IMMORTALITY 19 another place, create by an act of will twelve hours afterward.
This s...econd state of consciousness is conditioned only by the will, and we can make it what we choose. If our mental machinery is in good working order, we can recall the breakfast ex- actly as it was. This we call memory. Or, if we like, we can increase or di- minish or alter it in any particular. For coffee and rolls, we may substitute ortolans and peacocks' tongues, and so on. There is no limit to it. This we call imagination ; and what I want to emphasize is that memory and imagi- nation are identical in being states of consciousness produced by the will, and differ only in the closeness of their correspondence with antecedent states.
