The Tradition Of The Camp Fire Faces

The Concept Of Guilt Is Found Most Powerfully Developed Even In The Most Primitive Communal Forms Which We Know... The Man Is Guilty Who Violates One Of The Original Laws Which Dominate The Society And Which Are Mostly Derived From A Divine Founder; The Boy Who Is Accepted Into The Tribal Community And Learns Its Laws, Which Bind Him Thenceforth, Learns To Promise; This Promise Is Often Given Under The Sign Of Death, Which Is Symbolically Carried Out On The Boy, With A Symbolical Rebirth.

The True Meaning Of Love One's Neighbor Is Not That It Is A Command From God Which We Are To Fulfill, But That Through It And In It We Meet God.

Everything Depends On Inner Change; When This Has Taken Place, Then, And Only Then Does The World Change.

Man Is Like A Tree. If You Stand In Front Of A Tree And Watch It Incessantly, To See How It Grows, And To See How Much It Has Grown, You Will See Nothing At All. But Tend It At All Times, Prune The Runners And Keep It Free Of Beetles And Worms, And All In Good Time-it Will Come Into Its Growth. It Is The Same With Man: All That Is Necessary Is For Him To Overcome His Obstacles, And He Will Thrive And Grow. But It Is Not Right To Examine Him Hour After Hour To See How Much Has Already Been Added To His Stature.

Freedom And Destiny Are Solemnly Promised To One Another And Linked Together In Meaning.
