“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
--1 Thess. 5:23

If what is called the New Philosophy of Life has any purpose, it is, it seems to me, that of leading mankind out of the morass of its self-imposed limitation up to those heights of Self-knowledge whereon it is possible to see the object for which the all-creative Mind originated Man as Its highest Idea. Despite our most earnest endeavors to attain to those conditions which are ideal, so ideal as to be considered unattainable, we feel convinced that whether this goal is reached or not, there is something within that will not let us rest with our present status, and hence the urge to rise above circumstances with which we are not satisfied. With all our quests, and there are many, there is one which is most important, and which ought not to be placed second to anything, and this is the discovery of the self.
