By the reality called reason I do not mean mere cold calculation and hard logic. Such phases of reason are legitimate in their place, if freed from cunning and deceit, but the higher reason is

to these as a woman"s love-look is to the glitter of ice. The higher reason is not alone intellection, it is also intuition and harmonic assurance-what religious thought calls faith. The higher

reason declares self-preservation to be the first law of life, and then, just because this is true, it cares for self and trusts the White Universe to assist. I really do not see what a human soul need actually fear when that soul and the White Universe are bent

on the same goal, the soul"s welfare.
