comprehends what is truly God's except the Spirit of God" (I Cor. 2:9-11).

For all those who must wade through months and perhaps years of this purely intellectual or mental process, there are today many books to help and many teachers of metaphysics who are doing noble and praiseworthy work in piloting these earnest seekers after Truth and satisfaction. To them we cry: "All speed!"

But we believe with Paul that "God's foolishness is wiser than human" (1 Cor. 1:25) and that each man has direct access to all there is in God. We are writing for the "children" who, without question or discussion, are willing at once to accept and to try a few plain, simple rules, such as Jesus taught the common people, who "heard him gladly" (Mk. 6:20 KJV) --- rules by which they can find the Christ (or the Divine) within themselves, that through it, each man for himself may work out his own salvation from all his troubles.

In other words, there is a shortcut to the top of the hill. While there is a good but long roundabout road for those who need it, we prefer the less laborious means of attaining the same end --- by seeking directly the Spirit of Truth promised to dwell in us and to lead us into all Truth. My advice: If you want to make rapid progress in growth toward spiritual understanding, stop reading many books. They only give you someone's opinion about Truth
