dom from all dislike, envy, and enmity, with the power to feel and all kindly towards those who see fit to constitute themselves one’s enemies or opponents; the divine power to give blessings for curses, and to return good for evil; a deep knowledge of the human heart, with a perception of its fundamental goodness; insight into the law of moral causation and the mental evolution of beings, with a prophetic foresight of the sublime good that awaits humanity; and above all, a glad rejoicing in the limitation and impotency of evil, and in the eternal supremacy and power of good. All these, and the calm, strong, far-reaching life that these imply and contain, are the rich experiences of the transcendent man, along with all the new and varied resources, the vast powers, the quickened abilities, and enlarged capacities that spring to life in the new consciousness.
Transcendence is transcendent virtue. Evil and good cannot dwell together. Evil
