Government by the people, for the peo- ple, is a fact in northwestern Europe, the rulers being that principally in name only. But the fostering of the martial spirit such as pro- vails in Europe was only a means to an end. The seg- regation which it has caused must give place to a regime of brotherhood such as professed by Paine. A new step was necessary to bring this about ; a new food must be found which would act upon the spirit in such a way as to foster individuality through assertion of s...elf without oppression of others and without loss of self-respect. We have enunciated it as a law that only spirit can act upon spirit, and therefore that food must be a spirit but differing in other respects from intoxicants. Before describing this let us see what flesh has done for the evolution of the world. We have noted previously that during the Polarian Epoch man had only a dense body; he was like the present minerals in this respect, and by nature he was as inert and passive. By absorbing the crystalloids prepared by plants he evolved a vital body during the Hyperborean Epoch and became plant-like both in constitution and by nature, for he lived without exertion and as un- consciously as the plants.
