“In the Old Testament, Jehovah exhibits all the attributes of old Saturn, notwithstanding his metamorphoses from Adoni into Eloi, and God of Gods, Lord of Lords. Jesus is tempted on the mountain by the Devil, who promises to him kingdoms and glory, if he will only fall down and worship him (Matthew4:8, 9). Buddha is [...]

“The great dissimilarity which exists between the various conceptions of the Devil is really often ludicrous. While bigots will invariably endow him with horns, tail, and every conceivable repulsive feature, even including an offensive human smell, Milton, Byron, Goethe, Lermontoff, and a host of French novelists have sung his praise in flowing verse and thrilling [...]

“The Sibylline Books at that period seem to have been regarded with extraordinary favor. One can easily perceive that they were inspired from the same source as those of the Gentile nations. Here is a leaf from Gallaeus: “New Light has arisen: Coming from Heaven, it assumed a mortal form. … Virgin, receive God in [...]

“Beloved Children of the Earth, here is this Great Presence of all Life, which is giving you Life and Intelligence and beating your Heart, functioning every activity of your body, doing all this for you. Can't you give just a little obedience, the little which is required, to let the Light from the Presence flow [...]
