Just as the earth attracts everything to the center of gravity, and every object thrown upward into space will come down, so also material ideas and worldly thoughts attract men to the center of self. Anger, passion, ignorance, prejudice, greed and envy, covetousness, jealousy and suspicion prevent man from ascending to the realms of holiness, imprisoning him in the cause of self and the cage of egotism . . . The only power that is capable of delivering man from this captivity is the power of breaths of the Holy Spirit.
