We Are All Naturally Seekers Of Wonders. We Travel Far To See The Majesty Of Old Ruins, The Venerable Forms Of The Hoary Mountains, Great Waterfalls, And Galleries Of Art. And Yet The World's Wonder Is All Around Us; The Wonder Of Setting Suns, And Evening Stars, Of The Magic Spring-time, The Blossoming Of The Trees, The Strange Transformations Of The Moth...

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.
