Tablet to Miss Harriet M. Wise

He is God!

O thou who host turned thy face towards the Kingdom!

I read what thou hadst written. Know thou that there is in the world of existence a Center, for each great matter, and bounties shower from that Center. For instance, in the circle of the sun, the sun is the center of the light. Likewise there is a real Center for pure Love and now that Center is manifest in this world, from which the Lights of Love reflect to all parts of the Universe.

If thou partake but one ray from that Center, thou wouldst become sell-sufficient from the world, finding a new condition and witnessing an exaltation which overshadows all the existence.

Pray God that thou mayest catch with all thy exertion the Lights of Love from that Center.

Upon thee be greetings and praise!
