MAZDAZNAN NOW TWO DOLLARS

The Mazdaznan Magazine, issued monthly, will hereafter be two dollars per annum, or twenty-five cents per copy.

Kindly take notice that all subscriptions received on or after September 1 will be two dollars per annum. All those in arrears kindly remit at once.

Thanking one and all for past favors. KENNETH H. WOOLSON, manager, P. O. Box, 1854, Los Angeles, Calif., U. S. A.

THE DECLARATION OF FREEDOM

The Declaration of Independence might be said to be well known to mankind, and it accomplished a great work. And the immortal "Freedom and Liberty in the Pursuit of Happiness" has taken root everywhere. But to have freedom we must be free within as well as without. It does not mean liberty to live as the individual chooses, but to keep the laws of nature and so live that we express perfection here.

If we give up prejudice, which is the enslaver of the reason, and listen to the thot the Declaration of Freedom will point the way and satisfy every longing of the heart.

1 Mazdaznan declares Universal Amnesty from Sickness, Sin and Sorrow, and announces Freedom of Choice through the Spirit of the Times, born of good behavior, through our Savior Liberty, in whom we trust, or "As man thinketh so is he."

2

Mazdaznan declares the Source of Man to be the Ever-active Thought of Mazda, in whom and through whom all things are equal.

3 Mazdaznan declares a just share of the world's goods to the extent of one's application of Individual Intelligence and the interest of timely investment during the Periods of Creation and the Process of Evolution measured by a Standard of Perfection, or "What man soweth that he shall reap."

4 Mazdaznan declares that throughout the Space moves the Ever-creative Thought of Mazda, commanding Activity and Life, expressing the designs of intelligence through complex manifestations, verifying its limitlessness through the variety in matter. 5 Mazdaznan declares that the Existence of Mat

ter and its consequent Processes of Evolution through the four Dimensions of Space, depends upon our Mental Perception, recognizing in the Variation of Manifestation a Complex Whole, or-Monism in Panism and Panism in Polyism.

6 Mazdaznan declares to be the oldest and most comprehensive Educational System of IndividualCollective Thought, embracing as it does every Essential Truth embodied in the Aryan or Zend race, substantiated through Ainyahita, revealed through Zarathushtra, approbated and declared by Jesus, founded upon Genesis, and borne out by the Science of Evolution, revealing unto man his origin, purpose and destiny; offering solutions to the most complex problems of life; pointing out man's final perfection, the means whereof are founded upon experience and observation as guided by Intuition and Reason, God and Nature, so ingenuously systematized that it commands respect, whether devised by man or revealed by God.

7 Mazdaznan is organized from Eternity unto Eternity, and in revelations and literary wealth offers surprises equal to those of the growth of the seasons, keeping abreast with the demands and requirements of time.

8 Mazdaznan declares to be "The Eternal Religion that stands behind all other religions," revealing the tie that binds finite Man to his Infinite God -Mazda.

9 Mazdaznan declares that: Thought is the incentive unto Manifestation, and wherever conscious of its Presence in the Realm of Spirit, Soul, Mind and Body, equalizing matters of the Elementary, Mineral, Vegetable and Animal in sum and substance, there Life reveals its potentialities of the Past and points with the Magic Finger of Destiny unto Man's ceaseless Possibilities in the Future for the Perfection of all things.

10 Mazdaznan declares the Supreme Intelligence to be in All Forms of Manifestation, animate and

inanimate, and realizes in the hearts of all mankind the Altar of the Eternal Flames of Love emanating the Life of Mazda, who is "a God of the Living, and not a God of the dead."

11

Mazdaznan declares that God has manifested, is now manifest, and will continue to manifest; but "is neither limited to the form of a man, nor the form of a woman," for Space and Time abound with endless formation.

[blocks in formation]

a) Religion, to be such, must prove by virtue of daily exercise the immanent knowledge, revealing the tie that binds finite Man to his Infinite God, the only Source of Life, Light and Love, unconditionally and freely imparted.

b) Philosophy, to be of any value to the individual, must deal with questions of vital importance, meeting the requirements of time, proven by facts undeniable and harmonious with the planetary and universal laws.

c) Science, to be of benefit to humanity, needs to confine itself to Nature and Nature's Laws, proving by virtue of corresponding relation between the objects of life the Manifestation of Variety as a means to an end, considering the processes of Creation and Evolution as ever changing but never ending. d) Sociology is to meet the requirements of time, showing by means of self-respect, right conduct, behavior and the exercise of individual rights, the possibility of union and harmony in the blending of individual complexity unto altruistic collectivity, recognizing perfection in every sphere, phase and place, for the final redemption of man from the dual aspect of life lost in class-consciousness.

13 Mazdaznan declares that: The greater the variety of ideas, and the farther-reaching the complexity of Thought entertained, the grander the sublimity of the forthcoming of the Divine Individuality in Man.

14 Mazdaznan declares that the Principle of Life

contains the Solution as to the Problems of Life, and that the recognition of it corresponds with the degree of one's unfoldment and the application of one's attributes, in the results whereof no one but the individual poses as the principal factor.

15 Mazdaznan declares that the Systems of religion, philosophy, science and sociology are but means to an end and not the end of man's endeavor. Purely means to aid the invalid mind to gain a foretaste of Truth and to stimulate the Thought unto efforts leading to an understanding of the Truth, which Truth is Holier than the Holiest, and is latent in every individual, ready to be expressed thru the collective state according to governing conditions. 16 Mazdaznan is the Thought of Masters and the Master-Thought that masters all the things of destiny for our good here, now and forever.

17 Mazdaznan is a Message unto all mankind, irrespective as to creed, caste or color, declaring the "Peace that surpasseth all understanding," and removes all misunderstanding.

18 Mazdaznan declares that in the recognition of Our Being not our denials alone, but the recognition and confession of the conditions and the environments, accumulated by ignorance through the process of Creation and Evolution, will deliver us from bondage and unfold the golden rays of higher understanding.

19 Mazdaznan declares that man's entity is the Focalization of God's intelligence manifesting attributes of spirit, soul and mind, and recognizes in the body of man the Crystallization of substance, guided thru uncountable processes of creations and evolutions, passing thru the lower strata of matter as revealed in the elementary, mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms, and lastly that of the form of man; the culminating point of all the intelligences and energies, celestial and terrestrial.

20 Mazdaznan declares that the key unto Wisdom lies in the Power of Breath obtained through diligent
