The Doctrines Of The Bible Are Often

Two Forms Of Government Are Favorable To The Prevalence Of Falsehood And Deceit. Under A Despotism, Men Are False, Treacherous, And Deceitful Through Fear, Like Slaves Dreading The Lash. Under A Democracy They Are So As A Means Of Attaining Popularity And Office, And Because Of The Greed For Wealth.

Strange And Mysterious Name To Give To The Spirit Of Darkness! Lucifer, The Son Of The Morning! Is It He Who Bears The Light, And With Its Splendors Intolerable Blinds Feeble, Sensual, Or Selfish Souls? Doubt It Not!

Justice Is Peculiarly Indispensable To Nations.

We Avoid Sensuousness, Only By Resorting To Simple Negation. We Come At Last To Define Spirit By Saying That It Is Not Matter.

The Sources Of Our Knowledge Of The Kabalistic Doctrines Are The Books Of Yetzirah And Zohar, The Former Drawn Up In The Second Century, And The Latter A Little Later; But They Contain Materials Much Older Than Themselves...in Them, As In The Teachings Of Zoroaster, Everything That Exists Emanates From A Source Of Infinite Light.
