Therefore, since the reality or soul of man is a
ray of light emanating from the Sun of the Word of God, it is capable of
manifesting all the perfections of Being. It is then worthy to be the throne
upon which may be established the manifestation of the Names, the Qualities and
the Attributes of the Ancient Entity. Inasmuch as this entity is capable of
expressing the great virtues of Being, and is the greatest and purest of all
existing beings on earth, from its earliest rise in the human temple to its resurrection
from the grave of the body, it can be likened to a mirror which reveals the
seen and the unseen, which possesses the virtues of the world and of the
Kingdom.

Francisco on December 17, 1911)(To see the transcript of the entire talk please
