• And Jesus said, There is a Silence where the soul may meet its God, and there the fount of wisdom is, and all who enter are immersed in light, and filled with wisdom, love and power.
  
• The magus said, Tell me about this Silence and this light, that I may go and there abide.
  
• And Jesus said, The Silence is not circumscribed; is not a place closed in with wall, or rocky steeps, nor guarded by the sword of man.
  
• Men carry with them all the time the secret place where they may meet their God.
  
• It matters not where men abide, on mountain top, in deepest vale, in marts of trade, or in the quiet home; they may at once, at any time, fling wide the door, and find the Silence, find the house of God; it is within the soul.
  
• One may not be so much disturbed by noise of business, and the words and thoughts of men if he goes all alone into the valley or the mountain pass.
  
• And when life's heavy load is pressing hard, it is far better to go out and seek a quiet place to pray and meditate.
  
• The Silence is the kingdom of the soul, which is not seen by human eyes.
  
• When in the Silence, phantom forms may flit before the mind; but they are all subservient to the will; the master soul may speak and they are gone.
  
• If you would find this Silence of the soul you must yourself prepare the way. None but the pure in heart may enter here.
  
• And you must lay aside all tenseness of the mind, all business cares, all fears, all doubts and troubled thoughts.
  
• Your human will must be absorbed by the divine; then you will come into a consciousness of holiness.
  
• You are within the Holy Place, and you will see upon a living shrine the candle of the Lord aflame.
  
• And when you see it burning there, look deep within the temple of your brain, and you will see it all aglow.
  
• In every part, from head to foot, are candles all in place, just waiting to be lighted by the flaming torch of love.
  
• And when you see the candles all aflame, just look, and you will see, with eyes of soul, the waters of the fount of wisdom rushing on; and you may drink, and there abide.
  
• And then the curtains part, and you are in the Holiest of All, where rests the Ark of God, whose covering is the Mercy Seat.
  
• Fear not to lift the sacred board; the Tables of the Law are in the Ark concealed.
  
• Take them and read them well; for they contain all precepts and commands that men will ever need.
  
• And in the Ark, the magic wand of prophecy lies waiting for your hand; it is the key to all the hidden meanings of the present, future, past.
  
• And then, behold, the manna there, the hidden bread of life; and he who eats shall never die.
  
• The cherubim have guarded well for every soul this treasure box, and whosoever will may enter in and find his own.
