INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF THE FOURTH WAY
“The Soul of Man descends from Above to fill a need, to establish a link between earth and the planetary world. In accomplishing this task we develop higher bodies, a degree of objective reason and immortality “ -Alan Francis

Humanity is moving in a circle. The progress in mechanical things of the past hundred years has proceeded at the cost of losing many other things which perhaps were much more important for it.
