4 They will not do to other men what they would not have other men do unto them.

5 There are two selfs; the higher and the lower self.

6 The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.

7 The lower self, the carnal self, the body of desires, is a reflexion of the higher self, distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh.

8 The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the higher self is God in man, and will not pass away.

9 The higher self is the embodiment of truth; the lower self is truth reversed, and so is falsehood manifest.

10 The higher self is justice, mercy, love and right; the lower self is what the higher self is not.

11 The lower self breeds hatred, slander, lewdness, murders, theft, and everything that harms; the higher self is mother of the virtues and the harmonies of life.

12 The lower self is rich in promises, but poor in blessedness and peace; it offers pleasure, joy and satisfying gains; but gives unrest and misery and death.

13 It gives men apples that are lovely to the eye and pleasant to the smell; their cores are full of bitterness and gall.
