The Wheel Of The Good Law Moves Swiftly On. It Grinds By Night And Day. The Worthless Husks It Drives From Out The Golden Grain, The Refuse From The Flour. The Hand Of Fate Guides The Wheel; The Revolutions Mark The Beatings Of The Heart Of Manifestation.

It Is On The Acceptance Or Rejection Of The Theory Of The Unity Of All In Nature, In Its Ultimate Essence, That Mainly Rests The Belief Or Unbelief In The Existence Around Us Of Other Conscious Beings Besides The Spirits Of The Dead.

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.

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.

Be Humble, If Thou Would'st Attain To Wisdom. Be Humbler Still, When Wisdom Thou Hast Mastered.
