Franz BardonLet us tread upon this path to this supreme Godhead practically and step by step, beginning from the lowest sphere, to arrive at the true realization of God in ourselves.

Franz BardonWisdom does not depend on mind and memory but on the maturity, purity and perfection of the individual personality. ...
