Introduction

Nearly all thinking persons, and especially doctors, want to understand the mystery of man and of the universe in which he lives, moves, breathes and has his being. It has been stated many times, now and in the past, that man is a microcosm or a microfilm of the macrocosm; but how this is possible or why, bas never been elucidated. We realize in a vague sort of way that we are linked to Mother Nature, affected by and dependent on her forces for our supply, but how close that connection is and its finer essence by which we are actually sustained in every breath of life, has not been explained.

Physicians and scientists have failed to clear up this problem and produce sense out of the confusion of opposite and similar principles operating in Nature and in man. Merely denying or ignoring a problem or a fact solves nothing, whether this be in the realms of mind, emotion or matter. The thorn or obstacle which is not resolved or removed remains an enigma to challenge man, in the application of the principle of brotherly love to men. Yet, strange to say, even clear thinkers line themselves up on one side or the other, identifying themselves with either view and challenging all comers by assertions, resistances of various measures, but not with a solution to the problem. And so we have innumerable schools of thought and theories, for lack of the GRAND TRUTH which would set both sides free through the understanding of all phases of life. Truth existed even before the creation of our little earth.

If man's thinking were impartial, especially in relation to the deeper problems of life, he would act according to the best of his ability and then stand aside and let the results speak for themselves. Impartiality is a rare accomplishment among men and requires, first of all, a larger vision of life with a deep insight into the finer Nature of things, plus a great toleration which is born of understanding and humility. This is possible only when love and service to our fellow men are the motives in the search for the true viewpoint of action.
