SPIRIT cannot be thought of as experiencing feelings, emotions, desires, or inclinations. The mere idea of Spirit having emotions, feelings, desires, and inclinations is ludicrous, and yet the naive thought of the race is fond of attributing the emotions of love or hate, jealousy or love of praise, like and dislike, etc., to Deity or even to Abstract Principle of Being. The error arises from the natural tendency of the naive thinker to form anthropomorphic conceptions of Deity and Being, to make gods and principles from the materials of himself. Hence arises the popular conceptions of ''personal gods,'' the number and variety of which are countless. Reason reports the fact that Spirit, or Universal Mind, must be without feeling, emotion, desire, or inclination, as we understand these terms. This plane of mental activity belongs solely to the phenomenal world.
