The

THOUGHT OF THE MONTH

EXPLORING THE MYSTERIES

By THE IMPERATOR[H. Spencer Lewis]

[From The Rosicrucian Digest September 1934]

I AM writing these thoughts on a bright invigorating afternoon in J une, after

having wandered around for a while in the various parts of Rosicrucian Parkwatching the many workmen putting the last finishing touches to the Rose-CroixScience Building in order that it may be ready for dedication and examination byour hundreds of visiting delegates and members a few weeks hence. I havebeen observing the masterful way in which artists and mechanics have beenapplying the laws of science and the arts in completing this unusual structurewith its many unusual rooms and departments of research, and I have beenlooking at the shrubbery and flowers, the trees and the bushes, and the newly-planted grass seeds which will bring the green carpet to the grounds around thenew buildings.

I have been up on the roof of the new building watching the construction of thenewly-devised and elaborate instrument which will catch the sunrays at everyhour of the day and will convert them in a shaft of light downward through theattic and upper floor of the building into the color chamber on the main floor ofthe science building, thus creating a spot of brilliant light in the center of theblack room. And from this brilliant spot of light there will be thrown upon silverand beaded screens the colors of the spectrum, and the many mysteries of thesunlight and the sun's rays.As I lifted my eyes heavenward to observe the magnificent clouds and deep bluedepths of space beyond them, I thought of the newest experiment for exploringthe mysteries of the universe that will be attempted in a few weeks in the BlackHills just outside of the little town known as Rapid City of South Dakota. Herethe ingenuity of the most advanced scientists in various fields of research will beapplied to the construction and operation of the world's largest balloon in whichMajor William E. Kepner, and Captain A. W. Stevens of the army, hope to reachheights not hitherto attained by man, and explore regions in the universe hithertoa dark mystery to man's comprehension.No stratosphere balloon was ever so large and never were the hopes ofmankind so great as in this instance. With a most curious and varied assortment

We have learned to know of God and of God's mercy, love, and power throughour experiences resulting from his indwelling presence and the effect of hisconsciousness and creative powers upon us. We would know less of God todayif man had confined his explorations into the field of Supreme Directorship of thisuniverse by venturing to sail into the vast spaces to find Him, or by concentratinghis analytical study on the subject of his personal being.The one great exception to man's vast explorations is the human consciousness

of man, his dual existence, his real identity with the supreme forces of theuniverse, and his latent and undeveloped powers and abilities.Explorations of the space around us and an examination of the nature of theCosmic rays in their purest form as they pass through space, are most certainlyessentials in man's accumulation of true knowledge, but to ignore themysterious fields of research here close at hand and within our own beings andlift our thoughts to great heights along purely materialistic channels, hoping tofind physical evidence of the invisible powers of the universe, appears to be amost illogical plan at the present time.

By turning the searchlight of inquiry upon our own inner selves, by looking withinto find the Kingdom of Heaven, man will enter the most mysterious fields, themost profitable branch of research. Through this will come mastership of life, therevelation of great truths, and withal an understanding and comprehension ofman's great possibilities, the least fraction of which man has not yet discovered.
