Truth has long been known and has united noble spirits.
The truth of ancient days is being tapped. --

You yourself, child, within yourself hold the keys to wisdom, great beyond human description;
and all that I can do is to show you how you yourself may cultivate and develop these your own inner faculties and powers,
which have been before your time developed within themselves by the titan intellects, the spiritual Seers and Sages, of the human race -- the god-men of the past. . . .

look therefore within yourself! There lie the secrets of all the by-gone mistakes, and of your present sorrows.
In yourself likewise lie treasures ineffable which you will realize when some day you shall have found them and have brought them into activity in your life.

Within you lies the only wisdom you shall ever, you can ever, obtain. Within yourself is the Path, and that Path, O Child, is Yourself -- your Spiritual Self, your Divine Self, that starry celestial power which is your root of being.

It -- it, is also the heart of the Universe, for you and the All are essentially and fundamentally one and not twain. Can you, O Child, separate yourself from the Universe which encompasses you around?

Can you ever leave it?

Are you not an offspring of it, body of its body, blood of its blood, life of its life, thought of its thought, being of its being? Verily, you are IT.

So when you have found yourself, your greater Self, your Spiritual Self: the inner god, the divinity within: then have you found not only the Path which leads to the heart of the Universe, but you have found yourself and it to be One.
