the mass of
organized, created beings. These experiences are the rare awakenings
of the soul to the realization and use of its own native powers which
flow from its divine paternity and origin, and which constitute its
birthright and ultimate inheritance. At times, the gifts and powers of
certain beings burst into bloom and fruition when least expected, and
cast a radiance and a halo around the personality, which mark and award
it a place among its fellow men, altogether superior to the general
trend and outworkings of the recognized character. Around such
illuminated points of high expression of the soul's possibilities
gather other personalities and, by the action of a natural law,
crystalize about the central magnet of the inspired, and the inspiring
thought or action, and thus is leadership created. Barely does the
entire life outwork itself upon lines which harmoniously express the
inspiration which begot the godlike union of the human with the divine,
and thus through the natural falling away from the ideal, those who
seek the higher life through imitation or emulation of the model so set
up are finally forced to put aside their hero worship and seek their
own individual growth on the lines upon which they can lawfully unfold.

The varying moods, and idiosyncrasies of the hero or the saint turn
away their followers to the contemplation and study of those great
moral principles which rule the world and control the universe.

On the physical plane great strides are being made. The suppleness of
one, the power of balance of another, the feats of the acrobat, the
will of the juggler which commands the action, and the seeming
suspension of natural law; all these expressions are ever increasing
and varying through the industry and the ingenuity of man, and point to
the possibilities of the hitherto undreamed of physical perfection of
development, and grand unfolding of unknown powers. Man must master
the earth by controlling the laws of the material world. This is the
foundation of all things, and upon it shall be built all that the soul
must have for its unfoldment, within the aura and the radius of this
external plane.

If there can be one thing more pitiful than all others it is to see
little human bugs and reptiles mount their egotistical stilts and
declare the non-existence of the Creator.

If the blatant critics would only give over blowing their individual
