"In order to live on the physical plane, human beings must receive all they need from the outside; they couldn't live without the elements provided by water, air, the sun and the earth. They are creatures, and all creatures, in fact all of creation, has to take in from outside what it needs to remain alive. The Creator alone is exempt from this law. He needs nothing outside of himself, since he is life.

The Creator has left a particle of himself within each creature - a spark, a spirit of the same nature as himself - and thanks to that spirit living within them each creature can also become a creator. Rather than always expecting everything to come from the outside, human beings have the power to act inwardly by means of their thinking, their will and their spirit. By doing so they can capture the elements they need to nourish themselves physically and, above all, psychically. That is why the teaching of initiates has always been the teaching of the creative spirit, and those who acknowledge this teaching will always be strong and independent, for they will rise above the conditions imposed upon them by destiny."
