View of the World
• Everything in the world, including human beings, is a reflection of the divine soul.
• The physical facts of the natural world are a doorway to the spiritual or ideal world
• People can use their intuition to behold God’s spirit revealed in nature or in their own souls
• Self-reliance and individualism must outweigh external authority and blind conformity to custom and tradition
• Spontaneous feelings and intuition are superior to deliberate intellectualism and rationality
