Thought Creates Character.

Men Are At Every Stage Of Evolution, From The Most Barbarous To The Most Developed; Men Are Found Of Lofty Intelligence, But Also Of The Most Unevolved Mentality; In One Place There Is A Highly Developed And Complex Civilisation, In Another A Crude And Simple Polity.

Evil Is Only Imperfection, That Which Is Not Complete, Which Is Becoming, But Has Not Yet Found Its End.

Death Consists, Indeed, In A Repeated Process Of Unrobing, Or Unsheathing. The Immortal Part Of Man Shakes Off From Itself, One After The Other, Its Outer Casings, And - As The Snake From Its Skin, The Butterfly From Its Chrysalis - Emerges From One After Another, Passing Into A Higher State Of Consciousness.

Out Of Right Thinking Comes Right Practice. It Is Not True That It Does Not Matter What A Man Believes. It Is Not True To Say, As Many Say, That A Man's Beliefs Do Not Matter, It Is Only His Conduct Which Is Of Importance; No Lasting Right Conduct Grows Out Of Wrong Belief. If You Think Falsely, You Will Act Mistakenly; If You Think Basely, Your Conduct Will Suit Your Thinking.

As Civilisation Advances, The Deities Lessen In Number, The Divine Powers Become Concentrated More And More In One Being, And God Rules Over The Whole Earth, Maketh The Clouds His Chariot, And Reigns Above The Waterfloods As A King.
