To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Man does hereby become the high-priest of this Temple of aWorld. He is in harmony with the Decrees of the Author of this World;cooperating with them, not vainly withstanding them: I know, to thisday, no better definition of Duty than that same. All that is _right_includes itself in this of co-operating with the real Tendency of theWorld: you succeed by this (the World's Tendency will succeed), you aregood, and in the right course there. _Homoiousion_, _Homoousion_, vainlogical jangle, then or b...efore or at any time, may jangle itself out, and go whither and how it likes: this is the _thing_ it all struggles tomean, if it would mean anything. If it do not succeed in meaning this, it means nothing. Not that Abstractions, logical Propositions, becorrectly worded or incorrectly; but that living concrete Sons of Adamdo lay this to heart: that is the important point. Islam devoured allthese vain jangling Sects; and I think had right to do so. It wasa Reality, direct from the great Heart of Nature once more.
