of the soul germs of faculties powerful and varied. The soul is called upon to develop above all others one
special form of genius, until it is brought to its highest excellence. These multiple aspects of intelligent
wisdom and beauty are eternal. Music, poetry, eloquence, invention, prevision of the future and hidden things,
the gifts of education, the power to heal, are some of the innumerable forms. In projecting the human entity,
the divine thought impregnates that one of these forces assigned particularly to the soul in the vast universal
concert.
The mission of the being, his destiny, his actions in the general evolution, grow more and more
precise, and from being latent and confused become accentuated and clearly defined in the measure that he
climbs the immense spiral. The inspirations that he receives from on high respond to those in his character.
According to his need and his appeals will he hear in his own depths the divine melody. It is so God, by the
infinite variety of contrasts, causes the great harmony to vibrate in nature and in the breast of humanity. If the
soul abuses these gifts, or applies them to evil purposes, if it entertains vanity or pride, it must in expiation be
reborn in an organism powerless to manifest them. It will live an unknown genius, humiliated among men,
long enough for sorrow to lift it above the excesses of its own personality, and to permit it to take a sublime
flight towards its ideal.
Oh, you who peruse these pages, elevate your thoughts and your resolutions to the high tasks which
fall to you. The road to the Infinite opens before you, sown with inextinguishable marvels. Wherever your
flight is directed, subjects for study will await you, with inexhaustible sources of joy and beauty. Always are
there unsuspected horizons succeeding horizons known. All is beauty in the divine work, and in your
ascension it is reserved for you to enjoy innumerable aspects smiling or terrible, from the delicate flower to the
flamboyant stars: and to wait at the unfolding of worlds and humanities. At the same time, you will feel your
understanding of celestial things grow, and there will awaken in you an ardent desire to perpetuate God - to
plunge in Him, in His light, His love. In God our source - our essence - our life!
Human intelligence cannot describe the futures presented, the ascension perceived. Our spirit shut in a
perishable organism, cannot therein find the necessary resources to express these splendors. The soul, with its
profound intuitions, has the sense of infinite things in which it will participate, and to which it aspires. It seeks
in vain to express them in feeble human words; in vain to translate those eternal truths in the poor language of
earth. But the evolved consciousness perceives the subtle radiations of the superior life. A day will come when
the soul will dominate time and space, and a century will be no more for it than an instant, and with a flash of
thought it will crown the summits of Heaven. Its subtle organism, refined by thousands of lives, will vibrate to
every breeze, to every voice, to all the appeals of immensity. Its memory will plunge into vanished ages, and it
will revive at will all that it has lived, and call to it, or join all the cherished souls who have partaken of its joys
and sorrows. For all affections of the past are found in the life of space, and new ties are formed, binding us
closer and closer in a more powerful and perfect communion.
Believe, love, hope! Man my brother, and then act. Apply yourself and put into your work the
reflections, the thoughts and the aspirations of your heart - the joys and certitudes of your immortal soul.
Communicate your faith to the intelligent minds which surround you, that they may be able to second your
efforts for the uplifting of the world and the opening of a way for the evolution of the spirits. By and by will
come science, virile and renewed, no longer the science of prejudices, routines, and worn-out methods, but a
science open to all kinds of research, to all investigations, the science of the Invisible and the Beyond. It will
come to fertilize understanding, to enlighten intelligence and to fortify conscience. Faith in the survival of the
soul stands upon the rock of experiences and defies criticism.
An art purer and more idealistic, illumined by the light that never dies, will come to vivify the spirit of
earth. It will be the same with religious beliefs and systems. In the flight of thought, to lift truths from their
relative order to the order superior, they will approach, join, and mingle, making of the multiple faiths of the
past, hostile or dead, a living faith which will unite humanity in adoration and prayer. Work with all the power
of your being to prepare this evolution. Human activities must be used with more intensity on this route of the
spirit. After physical humanity, mind humanity must be created - after the body, the soul. That which has been
conquered by material energy has been lost in deeper knowledge and revelation of inner senses. Man has
triumphed over the visible world; now it remains for him to conquer the interior world, and to know the secrets
of his splendid future.
