“It was in the first part of the 20th century that we began to see that there was a psychic side of life that was not supernatural and phenomenal, but a psychic side of life that is as much reality as the realized or the visibility or the appearance. This is why, as metaphysical truth studies and movements started, the Einstein theory and those things had to come along at the same time. It wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
“You can trace it accurately. When the abstract truth movements beginning with Emerson and with Mrs. Eddy and various others, that right apace with that came the releasing of the material structure into atoms, the releasing of all manner of things into energy.

“Silesius said: ‘Friend, if you are anything, do not stand still. Man must move from one light to another. The soul is a crystal. Divinity is its appearance. The body in which you live is the container of both. Friend, it is enough. If you wish to glean more, go, become yourself.’ And release others to become themselves.”
