By the reality called reason I do not mean mere cold calculation
and hard logic. Such phases of reason are legitimate in their
place, if freed from cunning and deceit, but the higher reason is
to these as a woman?s love?look is to the glitter of ice. The
higher reason is not alone intellection, it is also intuition and
harmonic assurance?what religious thought calls faith. The higher
reason declares self-preservation to be the first law of life, and
then, just because this is true, it cares for self and trusts the
White Universe to assist. I really do not see what a human soul
need actually fear when that soul and the White Universe are bent
on the same goal, the soul?s welfare.
