Pp. 205-237 CHAPTER XII THE PAST AND THE FUTURE The theory of development is founded upon experience, but to estimate its future we must examine its conditions. (2) The general condition is that harmony is a cause of success, (3) while the extension of conscious correlation is the condition of complete harmony. (4) But we cannot tell how far harmony can be developed unless we can determine whether Mind is a true cause of growth, and how it is related to other causes affecting the life of man. This necessitates an inquiry into the nature of causation. Pp. 238-252
