Hence the significancy of the phallus, or of its inoffensive substitute, the obelisk, rising as an emblem of resurrection by the tomb of buried Deity at Lerna or at Sais.

True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring if the seed endures, the energy endures if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The spirit is thought thought is the heart the heart is the fire the fire is the Elixir.

All the great and beneficent operations of Nature are produced by slow and often imperceptible degrees. The work of destruction and devastation only is violent and rapid.

The common right is nothing more or less than the protection of all, pouring its rays on each. This protection of each by all, is Fraternity.
