I have now briefly indicated the lines upon which nations progress from savagery to civilization, — from instinctive self-regarding to instinctive altruism. I have shown that nations and individuals are governed by the same psychological laws, and that those laws are the same that prevail in the life of the lower animals. The law of suggestion has been the moving agency of psychic development from the time when a brain was developed in animals until now; the process of development in animals has been by intelligent adjustments to environment, which, by being frequently performed, have become automatic in the individual, and then inherited till they become automatic habits in the race (Romanes), or, in other words, until they are transformed into secondary instincts. When man appeared he was governed by the same law of development, and his whole character is made up of hereditary instincts" thus acquired, plus the sum of his individual acquirements. I have shown that the psychical character of aggregated humanity, whether of tribes, communities, states, or nations, is developed in precisely the same way and under precisely the same laws. That is to say, it has been shown that secondary instincts are formed, first by intelligent adjustments to environment, resulting in habits that eventually become converted into instincts and are then inherited, till they become habits in the state or nation ; and that the tendency or trend of these developments is always onward and upward toward perfection ; that in the organic world the final goal was man ; that in men and nations the final goal is universal altruism. I have shown that behind this process of development there exists, inherent in all sentient creatures, from the primordial cell to man, a constant, forceful, impellent energy that irresistibly impels all living beings forward in the lines of progressional development; that this energy is embodied, so to speak, in a primary instinct; that in its every form of manifestation, from the moneron to man, it is essentially altruistic in that it constantly prompts to acts which redound to the benefit of future generations ; that it is normally paramount to all other instincts, including the instinct of self-preservation ; and hence, that the most potent psychic force in nature, normally developed, irresistibly impels mankind toward the final consummation which was foreshadowed by the Man of Nazareth, — universal altruism.
