All knowledge of Cause would be his, and the power to use it."

Mankind can be saved only by a group of men who are so centered in God at the Source that their wisdom is a part of the All-Wisdom, and therefore so conscious of the cosmos and so integrated at the center that they will be able to think clearly in many fields and not be limited to one field alone. Such a group of men, if they could find each other out and share their wisdom, might be able to chart a course that could save the world. Can you help me find such men?\""

Stanley Jones, and perhaps a score of others. The fact that all these men are so humble that they would shrink from making such claims for themselves is added proof that they deserve this honor that I would here bestow upon them."
