If, now, this chapter has seemed to broach the subject of
religion, remember, it does not deal with religion as you perhaps
know religion. The only thing valuable in religion is the White
Life within the human self. That alone is religion. Call it what
you will. And it means just that courage which makes us buoyantly
equal to any kind of life that is right. The methods of this book
will prove of value to you, whether or no you go into the WHITE-
LIFE phase of existence. But they will realize completest value if
you will swing at the start clean out into the one greatest
thought--"_I_ SURRENDER TO, AND _I_ RECEIVE, THE INFINITE WHITE
LIFE."

It is because I desire every reader to get this perfect start in
our study that I have indulged in the rather general outlook on
the world's New Dawn. Hereafter our work will be more specific and
adressed to the varying conditions of the individual man or woman.





FEAR--THOUGHT AND FEAR--FEELING.


The INTELLECT coldly reflects What Is:
An icy, crystalline lake portraying earth and sky
In shadows beautiful as death--
And void of pulse, or warmth, or music of good life.
This is no Eye with which to view the world!
