CHAPTER XXVIII
LIVING OF A LIFE
Slowly, laboriously,' and often-times reluc-
tantly, it is borne in upon the intelligent con-
sciousness of every student, that there is but
one way whereby the problem of Personal
Responsibility may ever be solved, and that
is by The Living of a Life.
Let him stop at this point and dwell for at
least one silent and intense moment on the
ominous significance of these five simple but
magical words, ((The Living of a Life."
Let him ask himself how many there are
today who are seeking, or who think they are
seeking, for the hidden facts and vital truths
of life, who would stop, hesitate, then turn
away, if they but knew what every student of
Natural Science must come to know, that the
definite knowledge and independent spiritual
vision and psychical power for which they
are seeking can never be obtained nor ac-
quired in any manner whatsoever, except as
a natural and scientific result of The Living of

CHAPTER XXX
What is Consideration?
What is Responsibility?
What is Accountability?
What is Moral Accountability?
What is Personal Responsibility?
What is the primary Purpose of the Soul?
It would be an exceedingly simple and
easy matter for him to open his dictionary,
turn to these various terms and there find
definitions for each and all of them. That
would not help him. It would only con-
fuse him. This fact will be apparent to
those who have followed the development of
the work to this point. For he will have ob-
served that the definitions of this School do not
conform to those of any other authority. This
is due to the fact that the work of this School
proceeds from the basis of exact science. Its
viewpoint is that of a science with which the
world in general is not familiar, as yet. An
illustration may be helpful to the student:
If he will compare the definition of "Mor-
ality," given in a preceding chapter, with
that of any of the standard modern works on
Lexicology, he will observe that there is a
fundamental difference and that it is of vital
