Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Herald of the Cross, Vol. 1: April, 1905
It is this spirit in man which prevents him from dis cerning his own true dignity of soul, and teaches him to seek only those things which seem to bring to him reward of some kind. It is this zeitgeist in him that makes him a mere puppet of the material in?uences which are in operation all around him, that makes him the absolute slave of the senses, that prevents him from rising to the height of his manhood, and that shuts the door of the higher spiritual world to his soul. It is the spirit of mam mon, the god of matter, the negation of all spiritual good, the outer phenomena of the world - the same terrible in?uence that led the whole planet astray ages ago, and made it polarise on the outermost planes of mere existence beyond the benign in?uences of the Divine operation, so that many of its splendid spiritual forces were converted to fixed and adamant conditions.
