Matter Is Spirit At Its Lowest Level.

To Act And Act Wisely When The Time For Action Comes, To Wait And Wait Patiently When It Is Time For Repose, Put Man In Accord With The Rising And Falling Tides (of Affairs). So That With Nature And Law At His Back, And Truth And Beneficence As His Beacon Light, He May Accomplish Wonders. Ignorance Of This Law Results In Periods Of Unreasoning Enthusiasm On The One Hand, And Depression On The Other. Man Thus Becomes The Victim Of The Tides When He Should Be Their Master.

The Universe Is The Periodical Manifestation Of This Unknown Absolute Essence.

As No Cause Remains Without Its Due Effect From Greatest To Least, From A Cosmic Disturbance Down To The Movement Of Your Hand, And As Like Produces Like, Karma Is That Unseen And Unknown Law Which Adjusts Wisely, Intelligently, And Equitably Each Effect To Its Cause, Tracing The Latter Back To Its Producer.

When Science Shall Have Effectually Demonstrated To Us The Origin Of Matter, And Proved The Fallacy Of The Occultists And Old Philosophers Who Held (as Their Descendants Now Hold) That Matter Is But One Of The Correlations Of Spirit, Then Will The World Of Skeptics Have A Right To Reject The Old Wisdom, Or Throw The Charge Of Obscenity In The Teeth Of The Old Religions.

Ridicule Is The Deadliest Weapon Of The Age.
