  4. 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
