What is the difference between the 2nd and 3rd fundamental principles of Prout?
The 2nd principle says that wealth throughout the universe should be utilized at a maximum and distributed rationally to ensure maximum progress. The 3rd principle says that the physical, metaphysical and spiritual potentials of the individual and the collective must be utilized at a maximum in order for both the individual and the collective to progress at a maximum. Metaphysical potentials are those psychic faculties and capabilities that govern the physical, such as engineering, political science, etc. They are not of psycho-spiritual nature but pertain to the physical. So the 2nd principle says that all collective wealth must be taken well care of, while the 3rd principle says that all individual potentials as well as the collective form of those potentials must be harnessed properly for the good of all.
