It is because I desire every reader to get this perfect start in
our study that I have indulged in the rather general outlook on
the world's New Dawn. Hereafter our work will be more specific and
adressed to the varying conditions of the individual man or woman.
FEAR--THOUGHT AND FEAR--FEELING.
The INTELLECT coldly reflects What Is:
An icy, crystalline lake portraying earth and sky
In shadows beautiful as death--
And void of pulse, or warmth, or music of good life.
This is no Eye with which to view the world!
The SOUL reflects the universe
With ECSTASIES of heat, of hue, of harmony!
Its INNER gaze creating Life in Fact,
So, robing sheer Reality in colors ravishing,
Giving it Voice, forming within it Heart,
And vitalizing All with Feeling--Being's blood.
This is our Eye, viewing the world it builds.
Fear blurs that Eye, while Reason clears:
Pure mind lacks Passion adding values to existence;
(Who loves mere ghost--flowers born of moonlight?)
Pure Feeling lacks in REASON, needing values,
And, lacking so, fills Eye of Soul with fantasies,
With wild distortions of imagination's lust.
