When the tendency of imagining God reached still higher, man found greater manifestations of God, not in animals or in nature, but in man. As all things in this world of variety have superior and inferior degrees, so the divine is seen more at one particular stage of man's evolution. No doubt man is proud and has the spirit of rivalry and jealousy. He never gives in to his fellowman, however spiritual and however greatly the divine be expressed by him. Man has always fought for what he calls the equality of man.
