The Fate of Mankind
Chapter 32
Science becomes the salvation of the world
Science, when it has developed the maturity necessary in all areas, spiritual as well as physical, to prove that any egoistic act whatsoever is a hindrance to the creation of the perfect society, will become the salvation of the world. Only absolute knowledge of the eternal facts can put its source in a position to control matter, and thereby might, for the benefit of right. But as knowledge cannot be absolute or perfect by means of intelligence alone but, on the contrary, only by being identical with a balanced result of experiences of intelligence and feeling, and as this result is the same as love, any kind of knowledge can be absolute only when it is a "science of love". This knowledge then becomes manifest to everyone as constituting "the holy spirit". For the time being it still constitutes in the zone of the earth merely "the unborn embryo" of this, its identity.
