Excerpt from The Logos of the New Dispensation of Time
Beloved: I thus open to you glimpses of my life that you may be encouraged to push boldly forward in your searchings after truth, and try to realize the Divine possibilities of your own soul They are for this life and world, and not entirely for the life beyond this earth
These deep and holy experiences are as much a reality to me as bread and butter, clothing and sensation are to you They are more than meat or raiment and feeling, for they include the nature of every thought that may enter into the mind of man. They are real and true to me for they are all that I am - the consciousness of my body, of my mind, of my soul-spirit.
My hope is that they may inspire you to put forth strong and continued efforts for soul growth that you too may attain to self knowledge and the peace that surpasseth understanding.
Some Experiences.
I wish to say that I was born in California, therefore a native daughter. But I have not always lived here. After an absence of eighteen years I returned and made a short tour over a part of the State.
In the spring of 1890, I found myself in the picturesque little town of Santa Rosa, near the coast, in California. I stayed in the town less than a week, but during that week I made the final resolutions which were carried into effect, and which made it possible later to carry out ultimates. I had been traveling for about two years on a commercial line of business - retailing in a large way and wholesaling in a small way.
The resolutions made at Santa Rosa were to the effect that I would settle down somewhere and carry on some small business which would meet living demands, and I would in this (somewhere) quiet place earnestly, with my whole life and strength, try to solve the problem of life.
I had been a school teacher for many years. I had gotten my education by the sweat of my brow and mostly alone. I could not afford to go to school but very little, neither could I afford to hire a teacher to help me, so I studied alone for years. In my early youth my reading was done by the light of pine knots burning in an open fireplace.
