The chief aim was “reunion of the part with the _all_.” This All was One, with numberless names. Whether called _Dui_, the “bright Lord of Heaven” by the Âryan; _Iao_, by the Chaldæan and Kabalist; _Iabe_ by the Samaritan; the _Tiu_ or _Tuisco_ by the Northman; _Duw_ by the Briton; _Zeus_, by the Thracian or _Jupiter_ by the Roman—it was _the_ Being, the _Facit_, One and Supreme,(571) the unborn and the inexhaustible source of every emanation, the fountain of life and light eternal, a Ray of which every one of us carries in him on this earth.
