Holy Aim

"We intend to place you once more before The Holy Aim, which is hidden to those who are understanding and wise by the standards of this world. If only you can find the missing thread again and hook the missing link to the chain again, then for you the Call will not have sounded in vain.

Repair

Now let us analyse this mystery. The true pupil is able, in his broken and mortal microcosm, to construct amidst this perishable world, something imperishable and immortal, namely: the mental conception of immortal man, the mental image of the immortal, heavenly being.
