"Religion, like all things, begins with self, And naught is known, until one knows himself."

God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state; our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer--the intuitions of the soul.

— Henry Ward Beecher
