'Manifestations'(5) bring the power of the Holy Spirit from the Divine Sun
of Reality to give light and life to the souls of men.

Behold, there is an intermediary necessary between the sun and the earth;
the sun does not descend to the earth, neither does the earth ascend to
the sun. This contact is made by the rays of the sun which bring light and
warmth and heat.

The Holy Spirit is the Light from the Sun of Truth bringing, by its
infinite power, life and illumination to all mankind, flooding all souls
with Divine Radiance, conveying the blessings of God's Mercy to the whole
world. The earth, without the medium of the warmth and light of the rays
of the sun, could receive no benefits from the sun.

Likewise the Holy Spirit is the very cause of the life of man; without the
Holy Spirit he would have no intellect, he would be unable to acquire his
scientific knowledge by which his great influence over the rest of
creation is gained. The illumination of the Holy Spirit gives to man the
power of thought, and enables him to make discoveries by which he bends
the laws of nature to his will.

The Holy Spirit it is which, through the mediation of the Prophets of God,
teaches spiritual virtues to man and enables him to attain Eternal Life.

All these blessings are brought to man by the Holy Spirit; therefore we
can understand that the Holy Spirit is the Intermediary between the
Creator and the created. The light and heat of the sun cause the earth to
be fruitful, and create life in all things that grow; and the Holy Spirit
quickens the souls of men.

The two great apostles, St Peter and St John the Evangelist, were once
simple, humble workmen, toiling for their daily bread. By the Power of the
Holy Spirit their souls were illumined, and they received the eternal
blessings of the Lord Christ.

THE TWO NATURES IN MAN

November 1st

Today is a day of rejoicing in Paris! They are celebrating the Festival of
'All Saints'. Why do you think that these people were called 'Saints'? The
word has a very real meaning. A saint is one who leads a life of purity,
one who has freed himself from all human weaknesses and imperfections.

In man there are two natures; his spiritual or higher nature and his
material or lower nature. In one he approaches God, in the other he lives
for the world alone. Signs of both these natures are to be found in men.
In his material aspect he expresses untruth, cruelty and injustice; all
