>From the "Maha-Chohan's Letter:"

          "....The intellectual portions of mankind seem to be fast drifting
into two classes, the one unconsciously preparing for itself long periods of
temporary annihilation or states of non-consciousness, owing to the deliberate
surrender of their intellect, its imprisonment in the narrow grooves of
bigotry and superstition, a process which cannot fail to lead to the utter
deformation of the intellectual principle; the other unrestrainedly indulging
its animal propensities with the deliberate intention of *submitting* to
annihilation pure and simple in case of failure, to millenniums of degradation
after physical dissolution. Those 'intellectual classes,' reacting upon the
ignorant masses which they attract and which look up to them as noble and fit
examples to follow, degrade and morally ruin those they ought to protect and
guide.  Between degrading superstition and still more degrading brutal
materialism, the white dove of truth has hardly room where to rest her weary
unwelcome foot"
