Excerpt from Natural Law in the Spiritual World

Laws themselves, so far as known to me, is new; and I cannot hope to have escaped the mistakes and misadventures of a first exploration in an unsurveyed land. So general has been the survey that I have not even paused to define specifically to what de partments of the Spiritual World exclusively the principle is to be applied. The danger of making a new principle apply too widely inculcates here the utmost caution. One thing is certain, and I state it pointedly, the application of Natural Law to the Spiritual World has decided and necessary limits. And if elsewhere with undue enthusiasm I seem to magnify the principle at stake, the exaggeration like the extreme amplification Of the moon's disc when near the horizon - must be charged to that almost necessary aberration of light which distorts every new idea while it is yet slowly climbing to its zenith.
