"DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" 

There is no power on earth or in heaven which can be known to man or directed by man which is potent for good and not equally potent for evil when diverted from its proper and legitimate purpose. The stream which turns millions of wheels to do the work of our complex civilization becomes a destroying agent of tremendous force when it bursts the barriers which confine it and constrain it to work in useful avenues. The electricity, which conveys messages under the ocean and becomes the obedient servant at man's direction when controlled, will also rend, burn and destroy life and property when it is set free in a thunderbolt. It is identically the same with occult forces.There is no safety from the action of the forces of nature in the hands of unscrupulous men, only in the cultivation of a knowledge of the directing and activating Law. He who knows the certain and terrible results of a course of wrong thought and action would not willfully use the power to inflict loss or injury in another. Men become aware of the fact that by so doing they injure themselves most of all and rob themselves of power. He who injures another willfully and knowingly commits both moral and Spiritual suicide. These are the Laws the Higher Occult inculcates.
