THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | NOVEMBER 1935

all to you,—there can be no real peace, harmony or happiness in the outer life.

THIS is the next step in man’s spiritual unfoldment. It is true that only the few are ready to take that step, for most men, including even students and thinkers, are so involved in their brain mind’s consciousness that they believe the part of them that is so concerned about things, conditions and people is the real man; when it is only the human mind, the outer expression or mental child of the real man.
