LOS ANGELES

It is those thinkers alone, who, follow the Delphic Injunction, have cognized life in their inner selves, those who have studied it thoroughly in themselves, before attempting to trace and analyze its reflection in their outer shells, who are the only ones rewarded with some measure of success. Like the fire-philosophers of the Middle Ages, they have skipped over the appearances of light and fire in the world of effects, and centered their whole attention upon the producung arcane agencies. Thence, tracing these to the one abstract cause, they have attempted to fathom the MYSTERY, eacj as far as his intellectual capacities permitted him. Thus they have ascertained that (1) the seemingly living mechanism called physical man, is but the fuel, the material, upon which life feeds, in order to manifest itself, and (2) that thereby the inner man receives as his wage and reward the possibility od accumulating additional experiences of the terrestial illusions called lives.
