The Perfect Triangle

"The body of man must be regarded as a holy temple, a shrine of the Divine, the most marvelous House of God that exists, fairer far than the fairest temple raised with hands. For this natural temple which the Divine has wrought, is a copy of the Great Image, the Temple of the Universe in which the Son of God, the Man, dwells.

Every atom of every group of atoms, every limb and joint and organ, is laid down according to the Divine Plan; the body is an image of the Great Seal, Heaven-and-Earth, male-female in one.

But how few know or even dream of the possibilities of this living temple of the Divine! We are sepulchres, for our bodies are half-atrophied, alive only to the things of Death, and dead to the things of Life.

The Gnosis of the Mind thus teaches us to let the Life flow into the dead channels of our corporeal nature, to invoke the Breath of God to enliven the substance of our frames, that so the Divine Quickener may first bring to birth in us our Other Self, our long-lost Spouse.

And then we may ourselves with ungrudging love bring our True Selves to birth, so becoming regenerate or reborn, the Perfect Triangle, body-soul-spirit, jeweled with all three sparks of perfected manhood."
