THE VOICE DIVINE
Volcanic forces, in their gulfs compress'd,
By rocks and torrents are denied all rest,
But the fierce flame leaps round them and subdues –
Do thou, O timid man, like forces use!
A constant power direct to rend the chain,
To burst the bar, and thus thy freedom gain;
Inert are they, nor shall withstand thy strength,
Far from their fragments shalt thou soar at length!
When the swift lightning ere the thunder's peal,
Doth all the vault of heaven by fire reveal,
It manifests a master to the air;
Such work is thine; discern thy symbol there.
Lo, I have launch'd thee from the starry height,
'Tis thou who dartest downward trailing light,
And flash-like striking on the earthly ground,
Dost with the shock to thy first heaven rebound.
Man is the secret sense of all which seems;
That other doctrines are but idle dreams,
Let Nature, far from all contention, own,
While his grand doom is by her day-star shown.
To vaster laws adjusted, he shall reign,
Earth for his throne, and his star-crown attain,
The universal world his empire wait,
A royal court restore his ancient state.
LOUIS CLAUDE DE SAINT-MARTIN

made, lays in the fact that the spiritual soul of man joins his form only when the corporal principle has built it. And man is the little world.
More Words to Ponder!!!
He also said in "The Red Book", #249. The spirit taken away from us, the heart is all what is left, and this is the sacrifice we have to make if we want to recover the light.
What can one really say
In the presence of such words?
Let Silence be the answer
To the question never heard.
