Therefore we should venerate the sun, the great source of our light. By means of the physical sun, the earth is made fruitful and the seasons follow each other and the harvest comes. But we must also value the light of that invisible sun — the light of Spirit — for without this all things fail. Without the light of spirit, there will be no material seasons and no harvest. While living it is constantly necessary to balance these two values. Our victory over the ills that now beset us, results from the victory of the individual's consciousness of eternal value over the indecisions, fears, attitudes, doubts and uncertainties of mortal mind. Until this victory is achieved, the individual will never find the security that he seeks. He must, according to his own insight, turn the ultimate rulership of his life over to that directing power which alone can rule wisely.

In our own nature, there is a divine power, seated and rooted in the very inscrutable mystery of the sanctum sanctorum. In the mysterious holy of holies there dwells the final authority over our lives; for it is this authority by which we exist. This authority is truly that in which we live and move and have our being, and to most believing people, it is merely a spark from the great flame of existence itself — that part of the Divine by means of which every living thing participates in the ultimate Divinity.
