As when the horticulturist has carefully prepared the Mil and planted his seed he allows time for germination before he watches for the tender shoots, so we will ask you to allow these seeds of celestial truths to rest within your spirits until they have time to quicken into growth. Do not permit material shadows to retard, nor superficial reasoning to attempt to hasten, their germination.

Not all at once can the mind grasp any truth, and never until there is preparation from within.

We have given the thesis for you to accept or reject; rest assured that we neither ask you to accept it on our authority, nor will we seek to enforce it by argument. Truth, like mathematics, is its own demonstration, when the principles upon which it rests are known. Thinking without knowledge is of no value: when yon are perplexed seek the source of knowledge, of perception, within the Soul; the mind grows clear when illumined from within.

Endeavor to grasp the central truths and all small problems adjust themselves easily to the center. If the mind revolves around anything less than the central truths we have enunciated, bewilderment and error will ensue.

Bear in mind also that truth, as well as the perception of it, comes from within; the presentation of truth to the mind is of no avail unless the Soul comes forth to meet it.

If in doubt wait for growth; if perplexed wait for growth; and if in darkness wait for the light that cometh from the Soul.

We have planted in perfect love; let the growth also be in love. Let the sunshine of your prosperity and the tears of your adversity fall upon the Bacred garden of the spirit: we shall know fay the fruitage of your lives, by your love, and truth, and goodness whether (he germs have quickened unto the harvest of the Soul.
