I. "The logic of it is sufficiently simple if we
grant the premises on which it starts. It is that
man, by his essential and true innermost nature,
is a being fitted and intended to line in
uninterrupted intercourse with the All-creating
Spirit, thus continually receiving a ceaseless
inflow of life from this infinite source. At the
same time it is impossible for a being capable of
thus partaking of the infinite life of the
origination spirit to be a mere piece of
mechanism, mechanically incapable of moving
in more than one direction; for he is to reproduce
in his individuality that power of origination and
initiative which must be the very essence of the
creative spirit's recognition of itself he must

such as a wheel, hence related to Key 11, the
consequence of Key 10. The idea behind the
word is the completion of a cycle of activity. In
every circle, any point on the circumference may
be both beginning and end. This is the idea
behind Karma-the idea that any force sent out
returns eventually to its point of origin. A
fundamental law of manifestation, operative
throughout the universe. Note that a circuitous
course, is a reference to a form of meditation in
which the mind makes a circuit around a central
idea.
