ABSTRACT
The whole process of machine-invention is itself the most colossal, spiritual achievement of history. The supreme, spiritual adventure of the world has become this task that man has set himself, of breaking down and casting away for ever the idea that there is such a thing as matter belonging to matter—matter that keeps on in a dead, stupid way, just being matter. The idea that matter is not all alive with our souls, with our desires and prayers, with hope, terror, worship, with the little terrible wills of men and the spirit of God, is already irreligious to us. The Machine-Trainer is the man who sees what the machines are like.
