The liberators Of men must Be and
generally are strong enough to elect
themselves, pay all the bills and to
withstand all the kicks and bruises Of
those whom they would liberate. For
as rule the daily paper and other
channels Of mediocrity are the mediums
thru which more than half the people
absorb what little they believe concern
ing life in general, ethics. politics and
economics more properly called eco
nomic confusion. Consequently it is
not very difficult for those who control
the wealth Of the world to form the
public opinion Of the world and there
lby hold their wealth and their
power. 1t is simple matter to make
men who are not mentally equipped
with fundamental ideas and trained
reasoning power, to believe that which
is directly opposed to their own interest
and welfare. Almost any slop. if hand
led with flattery, will convince and pre-

Lack Of self-knowledge is the great

And without this full knowledge Of self.
self-control and rational living becomes
impossible.
''SeIf-control,' says The Great
Work, ''does not mean self-suppression
nor establishment, which are so gem
orally advocated. 1t does not mean the
entire destruction or elimination Of a
single element, impulse, desire, or func-
ton of individual human nature. either
physical, spiritual, or psychical. Il
does mean, however, that every appe-
tite, every desire. every emotion, and
every impulse of the soul, whether up
on the plane of the physical. the spir-
ituaI, or the psychical, shall be so abb
solutely under the control of the indi-
vidual that he can, in an instant, and
BY simple act of the will, either check
it, suspend it, divert it, or convert it
into channels of constructive activity.
There is not single emotion, inn
pulse, passion, or desire Of your being,
of the kind you are accustom-
ed to designate as physical or spiritual,
or psychicaI (Which, if it were permit
ed to CONTROL you. would become
destructive); but it may-under the
proper control of your Wilde trans
mitted into vital impulse of construc-
tive energy and power"
1t is because Of this possibility Of
self-control that man ranks as NOR

Morality is not matter Of human opin-

propensities. We may fall short again
and again in our efforts at self-con-
