Blindspot!
Intangibles
The depression brought the world to the very borderline of
understanding of the forces which are intangible and unseen. Through the
ages which have passed, man has depended too much upon his physical
senses, and has limited his knowledge to physical things, which he
could see, touch, weigh, and measure.
We are now entering the most marvellous of all ages—an age which
will teach us something of the intangible forces of the world about us.
Perhaps we shall learn, as we pass through this age, that the “other
self” is more powerful than the physical self we see when we look into a
mirror.
Sometimes men speak lightly
of the intangibles— the things which they cannot perceive through any of
their five senses, and when we hear them, it should remind us that all of us are controlled by forces which are unseen and intangible.
The whole of mankind has not
the power to cope with, nor to control the intangible force wrapped up
in the rolling waves of the oceans. Man has not the capacity to
understand the intangible force of gravity, which keeps this little
earth suspended in midair, and keeps man from falling from it, much less
the power to control that force. Man is entirely subservient to the
intangible force which comes with a thunderstorm, and he is just as
helpless in the presence of the intangible force of electricity— nay, he
does not even know what electricity is, where it comes from, or what is
its purpose!
Nor is this by any means the
end of man’s ignorance in connection with things unseen and intangible.
He does not understand the intangible force (and intelligence) wrapped
up in the soil of the earth—the force which provides him with every
morsel of food he eats, every article of clothing he wears, every dollar
he carries in his pockets.
