“There are two selfs; the higher and the lower self.
The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.
The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the higher self is God in man, and will not pass away.
If you would ask me what to study I would say, yourselves; and when you will have studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, yourselves.
He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, knows of the things that pass away; and he who knows his higher self, knows God; knows well the things that cannot pass away.
Men seek salvation from an evil that they deem a living monster of the nether world. This evil is myth.
The only devil from which men must be redeemed is self, the lower self. If man would find his devil he must look within; his name is self.
If man would find his saviour he must look within; and when the demon self has been dethroned the saviour, Love, will be exulted to the throne of power.
The David of the light is Purity, who slays the strong Goliath of the dark, and seats the saviour, Love, upon the throne.”
