Thus the mind image of an indulgence suggests and invites to a new indulgence; the picture of past joy is framed in regrets or hopes. And there is the ceaseless play of the desire to know, to penetrate to the essence of things, to classify. THUS THE MIND IMAGE OF AN INDULGENCE SUGGESTS AND INVITES TO A NEW INDULGENCE THE PICTURE OF PAST JOY IS FRAMED IN REGRETS OR HOPES AND THERE IS THE CEASELESS PLAY OF THE DESIRE TO KNOW TO PENETRATE TO THE ESSENCE OF THINGS TO CLASSIFY
 the heritage of the spiritual man have been caught and enmeshed in psychical activities. Instead of pure being in the Divine, there has been fretful, combative, egotism, its hand against every man. Instead of the light of pure vision, there have been restless senses nave been re and imaginings. Instead of spiritual joy, the undivided joy of pure being, there has been self-indulgence of body and mind. These are all real forces, but distorted from their true nature and goal. They must be extricated, like gems from the matrix, like the pith from the reed, steadily, without destructive violence. Spiritual powers are to be drawn forth from the psychic meshes. 5. The psychic activities are five; they are either subject or not subject to the five hindrances (Book II, 3). The psychic nature is built up through the image-making power, the power which lies behind and dwells in mind-pictures. These pictures do not remain quiescent in the mind; they are kinetic, restless, stimulating to new acts.
