The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | OCTOBER 1934
God working on the inner side of Life, within all forms; for “when thine eye is single, thy whole body is full of light.” In that Light shall we see light, and so see God.
There lies the clue to the new age, the age of light, of illumination and of revelation.

He will be known to be perpetuating his existence in a realm lying behind the physical. He will be known to be still alive, awake and aware.

Then again, the growth in the number of those people who have the power to use the “single eye,” sometimes called the “reawakened third eye,” will add to the demonstration of the truth of immortality; for they will, with facility, see the man who has
