Then suddenly from nowhere a child was visible with fair curly hair, simple standing and smiling. He had the most beautiful smile on his face. But the glory of the child was the aura around him of white and gold, which radiated out from him to all those millions of people below him." The Oracle is VII, iv 34 sq.

Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally
