We have completed the survey of the human mind; we have created a foundation,
upon which a scientific system, as the correct representation of the original
system in man, may be built. In conclusion, let us take a glance at the whole.

Philosophy teaches us to look for everything in knowledge—in the Ego. Only
through it is order and harmony brought into the dead, formless matter. From
man alone does regularity proceed, and extend around him to the boundary of
his perception; and in proportion as he extends this boundary are order and
harmony also extended. His observation marks out for each object of the
infinite diversity its proper place, so that no one may crowd out the other,
and brings unity into this infinite variety. By his observations are the
heavenly bodies kept together, and form but one organized body; by it the suns
move in their appointed courses. Through reason there arises the immense
gradation from the worm to the seraph; in it is hidden the system of the whole
spirit-world; and man expects justly that the law, which he gives it and
himself, shall be applicable to it; expects justly the future universal
acknowledgment of that law. In reason we have the sure guarantee that from it
there will proceed, in infinite development, order and harmony, where at
present none yet exists; that the culture of the universe will progress
simultaneously with the advancing culture of mankind.
