WILL POWER
THE CREATOR

SZEKELY
the feelings are so much stronger than thought, that they, and
not thought, govern our actions. Though evolution shows that
the power of thought is steadily growing, yet the feelings are
still predominant.
Homo Neanderthalensis had a smaller and inferior brain
than that of contemporary man. He was exclusively under the
impulse of his feelings. The activities of his brain were very
modest beside those of a Millikan or an Einstein. The great
law of evolution traces the progressive development of
thought. The blind forces of instinct are in diminution, while
man's conscious intellectual forces are growing. Each
generation will see a step towards the eventual dominance of
the intellectual forces over the forces of sentiment. We stand
to-day between the past of instinct and the future of thought.
What is the logical consequence of this state of affairs?
We must aid the course of human evolution by striving to
ennoble and control the instinctive sentimental forces. It is
only thus that we shall be in harmony with the law and forces
of evolution and that we can share in the creation of the man
of to-morrow.
As we are at present, we represent the forces of
retrogression. Man and Society are being destroyed by the
play of blind, instinctive forces. They are the cause of all
crimes and wrongs. All forms of violence and social tyranny
are the product of irrational and unbalanced instincts. In
themselves instincts are neither good nor bad; their value
depends on their quality. If our feelings and emotions are
sources of energy and harmony, they are of great value. But if
they are a source of inharmony, they become a danger. The
practical conclusion to be drawn is that we should ennoble
and refine the feelings which give us balance, and eliminate
those which cause disequilibrium. The feelings and emotions
must be educated according to a certain practical technique.
Thoughts and feelings are divisible into two classes:
those which give us power to carry out actions and those
which paralyse actions.
We must analyse those thoughts and feelings which
inspire creative actions. When we have done a good deed, we
should look to see what thoughts and feelings prompted it.
All those factors which have helped in its performance should
be called into the consciousness. Our thoughts are under our
control, but we cannot provoke the sentiments we wish.
A knowledge of the laws of psychology gives us new
power. The association of ideas and sentiments, coupled with
the factor of time, constitutes an all-powerful force. If
thoughts remain abstract, they will not provoke feelings.
They must be given colour and vitality. Instead of thinking
and reasoning abstractly, we must strive to use creative
imagination. Our thoughts must become living images. This
art, long practised by Orientals, has been neglected and
forgotten in the West.
If we think of many things, we only produce pale images
of reality. In the absence of creative imagination, thoughts
and ideas remain sterile. Instead of experiencing a wealth of
realities, we create mental poverty. We must always imagine
