Through analysis, correlation and synthesis, the thought power of man is developed and the abstract mind can be unified with the concrete.

These two groups necessarily, and in spite of their apparent divergences and differences, are more synthetic in their fundamental aspects than any of the others. One group concerns itself with mankind, with the varying types of humanity, the mechanism employed, and a man’s urges and characteristics, and with the purpose—apparent or hidden—of his being. The other group controls and orders the means whereby he exists, controlling all that can be converted into energy, and constituting a dictatorship over all modes of intercourse, commerce and exchange.

They are the latest group in point of date, and their work (it should be borne in mind) is most definitely planned and guided. They are bringing about effects upon the earth which are most far-reaching.
