PHILOSOPHY OF SILVER BIRCH by Stella Storm / 1969 / 154 pages. 

If the power of the spirit could fail, the earth would cease to spin on its axis & the seasons no longer follow one another in orderly sequence. If the power of spirit could fail, the sun would cease to be a fiery orb & the moon fail to reflect its illumination. If the power of the spirit could fail, no seed would flower, no fruit would grow. It is this latent spirit within man that we seek to coax into higher expression & by so doing enjoy the boundless beauties, the riches, lustre, dignity, grandeur & nobility that are the expressions of a divine spirit. With the realization of these possessions, man can uplift himself, sever some of the shackles that bind him to earth & enjoy the rich heritage of his unexplored mind & spirit. By this means he opens himself to inspiration, wisdom, revelation & truth, which are already streaming in increasing measure as man fits himself to be the recipients of this bounty from a larger life. We are, all of us, seen & unseen, wherever we may dwell, included in a vast spiritual family, with the Great Spirit as our Father & each of us as his children. The tie of the divine spirit binds us all together & makes us one. Thus we feel we are richly blessed because so many of the barriers between the two states have been overcome. There is, as a result, a procession of enlightened beings who are able to make their beneficent impact on so many in the world of matter today.
