it to be,"
said Jesus. "Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar." When you need the dollar for tax, it will be in the fish's mouth if there is no other way for it to come. When you need protection of statute law, it will be passed; when you need prison, you will be put there. But the Freedom we stand for, is the I-AM Freedom,---freed from the slavery of circumstance. I am free to choose, and to be that which I desire to be. Thus freed, I am a centerstance, and the All is my circumference. We stand for the freedom of the Soul; spiritual freedom, which no man or state can confer; which the Soul alone, proclaims when it has burst the fetters of its animal origin.
In this Freedom we are one. Unity in the Freedom of Spirit, in Freedom of Principle; in Freedom of Love is desirable; thus we have it. It is impossible that in freedom of thought we can be one. In the fact that I do not, and cannot, think as you, consists my individuality, and in your necessity to think differently from others, lies your individuality. In feeling-love --- we are one; but when feeling is transmuted into thought, we are many. Therefore, when asked what is the Thought for which the Federation stands, we answer --- For no thought, but for Thought itself. We stand in love for Unity-in Love. Universal Love, we are one. But we also stand for divinity in expression. From creeds, platforms, statements of belief, we are free. "What is Truth to me?" is the only question we ask of ourselves, and what is true we proclaim. "Speak the Truth as you see it today in hard words if need be, and then speak the Truth tomorrow in equally hard words though it contradicts every word you say today!" says Emerson.
"I wish my creed like by beefsteak fresh every morning!" said Robert Collier. That is our declaration.
