Christ is the law of organic perfection, the Christ spirit made social is the supreme triumph of all the powers of evolution." Spiritual thought must descend as a balm to cleanse and to heal the wounds of crime. Not the common vulgar crimes of ignorance or of ungovernable passion which education combats; but the far more dangerous ones more heinous in the sight of God, more fatal to the soul ! the deliberate, cold-blooded crimes of Satanically immoral intellects which have sacrificed all human welfare and National prosperity to selfish personal greed and ambition. All human moralities Page 28 The Law of the Rhythmic Breath - E. A. Fletcher.txt melt away before such aims. But they can neither affect nor withstand the force of the stupendous moral wave circling round our sphere. It is man himself who must ameliorate the present deplorable conditions ; he created them created all wickedness, all crime and misery, through wrong thinking prompting evil doing. There is no wickedness in the lower kingdoms ; and through the power of right-thinking man must lift the race from its present state of wretchedness and suffering. He must change conditions.

This is difficult in the hurly-burly of life till we have made our minds sensitive to the soul's lightest whisper by wooing it in silent concentration. Remember that we thus raise the Tattvas to a subtle plane, which means increasing activity, vastly increased velocity. This higher rate of vibrations increases the power of the soul to manifest its control over the mind, in fact, puts the two en rapport as nothing else can. The strength which the mind thus gains is shared by every nerve and externalized in the increased vigor and vitality of the body. Existence should be made a joy. Only thus can any soul manifest its highest powers. And to this end the daily life as far as it is under
