"Since the Fall, the single aim of humanity, unrecognized by those who walk in spiritual darkness, has been reconciliation and reintegration with the Creator. While on Earth our objective is to employ all rights and powers of our being in rarefying, as far as possible, the intervening media between us and the true Sun, so that there may be a free passage, and the rays of Light may reach us without refraction." Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin




“In practical living Illumination follows both Intuition and Idealism. Our intuition helps us to form a series of steps to climb. Each step in turn is an ideal; each ideal is more advanced, and more satisfying to our highest psychic self. An ideal may start with health, with personal well-being. Then it may advance to a consideration of the welfare of others, the service of society and then gradually broaden with greater understanding. The idealism prepares the consciousness for Illumination.” Ralph M. Lewis
