"As disciples, you need to free yourselves of your delusions so that you may know in which of the following kinds of life you find yourselves: the material, the spiritual or the Divine. The consciousness of he who enters the Divine World is expanding. He passes from the state of a caterpillar into the state of the butterfly, i.e. from the limiting conditions into the Life of Freedom."

"What should man do so that he may return to Heaven? He should fulfill God's Law. The human spirit can return to the place from which it has come. When will the world improve? When people accept Love selflessly and apply it. The mode of exchange between people will be love. They will then be free and will fly like the butterfly. Should we believe in this? Believe and think rightly."

"These ideas are the Light which God brings with Himself, the great Light which God sends forth to us."

"Work in accordance with the methods of the Light. Work like the sun which rises every morning and sends its light and warmth throughout the whole world that all living beings can be joyous and glad."

These wave-like movements of the arms that are held at the sides represent the Law of acquiring Light and Knowledge. It is the Law of correct acquaintance with Light and Knowledge. This exercise expresses the uplifting impulse which makes everything grow. These movements can also be called the correct way of spreading the Word and making it grow into Life.

Music: "First Day of Spring" - 30 measures.
