The Double Law Of Attraction And Radiation Or Of Sympathy And Antipathy, Of Fixedness And Movement, Which Is The Principle Of Creation, And The Perpetual Cause Of Life.

True Thoughts Have Duration In Themselves. If The Thoughts Endure, The Seed Is Enduring; If The Seed Endures, The Energy Endures; If The Energy Endures, Then Will The Spirit Endure. The Spirit Is Thought; Thought Is The Heart; The Heart Is The Fire; The Fire Is The Elixir.

Nothing Excites Men's Curiosity So Much As Mystery, Concealing Things Which They Desire To Know; And Nothing So Much Increases Curiosity As Obstacles That Interpose To Prevent Them From Indulging In The Gratification Of Their Desires. Of This The Legislators And Hierophants Took Advantage, To Attract The People To Their Sanctuaries, And To Induce Them To Seek To Obtain Lessons From Which They Would Perhaps Have Turned Away With Indifference If They Had Been Pressed Upon Them.

The Spoken Discourse May Roll On Strongly As The Great Tidal Wave; But, Like The Wave, It Dies At Last Feebly On The Sands. It Is Heard By Few, Remembered By Still Fewer, And Fades Away, Like An Echo In The Mountains, Leaving No Token Of Power. It Is The Written Human Speech, That Gave Power And Permanence To Human Thought.
