self-discovery, self-consciousness and consciousness of the world, naked

unborn, and knowing herself,--slipping off her old self and putting on
her new self.

THE AIR LINE LEAGUE
The first thing a spirit in this world usually does to find a body is to
select a father and mother. The American people if it is to be embodied
and have the satisfaction and power of making itself felt and expressing
itself, can only do so by following the law of life.
A hundred million people can only get connected with a body, acquire a
presence--find itself as a whole, the way each one of the hundred million
people did alone.
In a nation's being born again three types of mind are necessarily
involved.
The minds in America that create or project, the inventors.
The minds that bring up.
The minds that conceive and bring to the birth.
These three classes of spiritual forces are concerned in America in
making the people stop being a ghost, in making their American people as

The first thing to be arranged for America to make the people quit being
a ghost in The White House, is to form into three bodies or
organizations, these three, groups of men--make these three groups of men

in America--and have everybody in America conscious of them. I propose
three organizations to stand for these three life-forces, three
organizations which will act--each of which will act with the other two
and will follow out for a nation, as individuals do for individuals, the
law of life--of producing and reproducing the national life.
The minds that are creative will discover and project a national idea for
the people--the inventors, will act as one group.
The minds that conceive and bring the idea to the birth, that bring the
idea to pass, called engineers, will act as another, and the minds that
teach, bring up, draw out and apply the idea and relate the idea to
life--will act as another.
I propose a club of fifty thousand creative men be selected and act
together--that a nation may be conceived.
I propose that fifty thousand engineers or how-men, men who think out
ways and means, be selected and act together, that the nation that is
conceived may be born.
These two Clubs will have their national headquarters together in a
skyscraper hotel of their o
