The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Miracle Mongers and Their Methods by Harry Houdini: legacy from the earliest tribes; but it remained
for the Rosicrucians and the fire philosophers
of the Sixteenth Century under the lead of
Paracelsus to establish a concrete religious
belief on that basis, finding in the Scriptures
what seemed to them ample proof that fire
was the symbol of the actual presence of God,
as in all cases where He is said to have visited
this earth. He came either in a flame of fire,
or surrounded with glory, which they conceived
to mean the same thing.
