…ose who, knocking for ad- mission, await [s] in ignorance and darkness to see the gate of the Sweet Law flung open! This begins with the word “And,” rather as if it were a sequel to the “VOICE OF THE SILENCE.” It should not be assumed that this is the case.

It really is a little bewildering; the signpost "Right-hand Path, " "Left-hand Path," seems rather indecipherable; and then, for such a long way, they look exactly alike. At what point do they diverge? Actually, the answers are fairly simple. As far as the achievement or attainment is concerned, the two Paths are in fact identical. In fact, one almost feels obli…

…in between my ribs, would soon or late involve a complete exposition of the whole subject of Morality. Off we go! What really is it? The word comes from Mos, Latin for 'custom', 'manner'. Similarly, ethics: from Greek ethos, 'custom' . "It isn't done" may be modern slang, but it's correct . Interesting to study the usage of moeurs and manieres in French. 'Manner' from manus-hand : it is 'the way to handle things' . But the theological conception has steered a very wrong course, even for theology; brought in Divine Injunction, and Conscience, an…

They feel they do not, and can never, understand him. Thus he inspires unreasonable fear. He is in fact perfectly ruthless. He cares intensely for power, wisdom, and his own aims.
