The fact remains that the awakening to the Overself leaves great witness and striking testimony that it has passed over a man's head. It brings new and subtle powers, an altered outlook upon people and events, and a deep calm in the very centre of his being. When he is given his primal glimpse of the spiritual possibilities of man, he is immeasurably exalted. When he discovers the dynamic power of the Overself for the first time and hears the beautiful hidden rhythm of its life, his heart becomes as the heart of Hercules and for hours, days, or weeks he walks on air. He begins to price his fleshly desires at their true worth and treads them under foot. He has been permitted to taste of the spirit's fruits, and he knows that they alone are good.
