The nations divide the earth between them in their blood; the princes of the marketplaces rule over their work, seizers of power, metals, water, fire; the suffering brotherhoods join in unity; empires, embracing the whole globe, are created in the subconscious of the millions; gigantic metropolises are raised beyond the horizon; one after another, the hidden forces of the earth fall into mans hands like reins: and beyond everything that seethes here, in a magical effervescence of regenerations, in the depths, by the spiritual hearths, labours the creator, the artist, the scientist, the thinker, the loving one, the saint, the visionary, insensible to the mortifying glare in the madness of their faith, sinking with happiness and humble anguish over their bounty, confused by the mezmerization of unfriendly spirits, which must be constantly dispelled by an abundance of love if work is to be possible; given to vertigo at every glance downwards and back, stirred by the nearness of the ages which await their work. Unknown to all and also to themselves, without any possible reward for the highest they bring, they pile thought upon thought, intuition alongside intuition, dream upon dream. But do not mourn them in their madness, the madness of seekers. Do not judge them if they delude themselves and go scorned among brethren. Nothing is lost in the spiritual world; even a rejected stone will find its place in the builder's hands and a burning house will save the life of one who has strayed. Every clearly expressed thought makes the dream of all people on earth easier. And the hidden work, at which the artist and the genius of science, both the thinker and the saint labor alike, changes the entire life of the earth; creates new links between beings, new glowing foci in the battle of the spirits; prepares new effulgences of passion, remakes sensations, forms, shatters and also heals bodies, revives their magical capacities, proclaims new events of history from afar, organizes man, reaches beyond the visible world."   - Otokar Brezina
