love, hate, fear, envy, avarice, pride, hunger, lust, ambition, etc. I could not name all of them in a day. And observe how the lower vibrations dominate man’s quest for gold.
Now study the urges that impel the Plateau-men to possess and use their medium of exchange. Do you see that it is Power that moves Plateau and earth-men alike, and do you observe that their mediums of exchange differ only in the degree of their vibrations? Have you perceived that you can must attune yourself to the highest vibrations before you can endure the harmony of the Plateau? Perhaps you can understand the suffering of many disciples who while seeking fellowship with the gods are unconsciously employing vibrations of force concealed in earth’s medium of exchange.
Money is Power, but you have not been employing that Power in vibrations high enough to be an unmixed blessing. Step up the vibrations of force toward pure Power, and step up the vibrations of ignoble urges to gain Money to true Love; unite these in divine alchemy, and behold a medium of exchange, for which I may ask of the Master a Body and a Name.

SO DARK IT SEEMS
SO DARK it seems!—I faintly hear!—
And yet I know that Thou art near;
For deep within I still can feel
Thy Love that will not let me go
Though all the world forsake, and lo!
I reach the cross,
And strive to pray, “Thy will be done”;
Nor heed the flesh, but ever shun
The tempter’s snare, “Let this cup pass.”
For I, like Him, must conquer all,
Must triumph o’er illusion’s thrall,
Ere “It is finished.”
—S. B.
