Excerpt from The Higher Powers of Man One is the individual and conscious, and the other, the phyletic or racial, which is more unconscious and generic. It is this that constitutes the deeper nature of man and in such varied phenomena as inspiration, Whether thought to be due to the Holy Ghost or to a muse; and ecstasy, whether of sense, thought, feeling, or will; and in all su perlative achievements of man in every domain, we have manifestations of this higher, larger, stronger, racial self, expressed in the individual. There is much justification for saying that most of the greatest achievements of man, not merely in artistic creation and the works of genius, where we are most ready to recognize it, but even in intellectual domains, have been done in this second or higher state, or at least have owed much to it, and a high authority on war has lately told us that this war will be won by that side that can ring up most of this reserve energy, when they go over the top, or in a bayonet charge.
