... as an entity and inside it is the world, as we know it including humans, animals and everything that exists. This leads to further prove that we are divine, seeing as we are part of God and God is divine. Again this thought was very criticized because God was always thought to be a separate entity and Emerson suggests that we are part of him. Again this causes a lot of controversy and these types of theories and beliefs is what caused the world to look at Emerson as a menace and a revolutionary.

The public cheered and showered much enthusiasm for Caesar who defeated Pompey. This was an example of how the public got so easily persuaded by top authority.
