There is a wonderful complementary duality between the voluntary and the sympathetic activity on the same plane.

But between the two planes, upper and lower, there is a further dualism, still more startling, perhaps.

Between the dark, glowing first term of knowledge at the solar plexus: _I am I, all is one in me_; and the first term of volitional knowledge: _I am myself, and these others are not as I am_;--there is a world of difference.

But when the world changes again, and on the upper plane we realize the wonder of other things, the difference is almost shattering.
