He spoke from the heart, not from a book, and brought forth a new revelation: the divinity of the soul.

The reliance on authority measures the decline of religion, the withdrawal of the soul. The position men have given to Jesus, now for many centuries of history, is a position of authority. It characterizes themselves. It cannot alter the eternal facts.
