107 from without, to assimilate what it needs, and thereby to live. It is but a step from this to the thought that the whole, being but a complex of cells, is fitted to receive a soul, an animating presence, or whatever the inner man may be called; and it is but a step beyond that to the thought^hat this inner man is a recipient, but, of course, this cannot be anatomically demon- strated.
In respect to the indivisible selfhood, the idea of infinite pre-existence must give place to some view mor...e consonant with reason and experience.
The only alternative is that the mind is a created existence, in this respect the perfect analogue of the body. Here, again, two ways appear : for we may think of the mind as created and com- pleted, once for all, at some past time ; or we may think of it as created in the sense that it is so made as to require to be continually recipient of that which it needs for sustenance and growth.
The former view, that the mind was created at one stroke and sent forth, supplied once for all with inexhaustible energy, is that which is held by those more cautious reincarnationists who avoid giving man self-creative or infinite power, 108 THE HUMAN AND ITS and the same view seems to be lield by all those who regard ^ every one as from his beginning elected or reprobated by his Creator, especially when held in the extreme form that all subse- quent men were on trial for their lives in the first man.
