“Esoterically speaking, [Polaris] the Pole Star is regarded as the "star of re-orientation" whereby the art of "retracing and recovering that which is lost" is developed. This eventually brings a man back to his originating source.” (EA, 196)

“Someday, when science has made such advances that human labor will be required no longer, men will sleep by day and watch the stars by night. For, of the two revelations of Nature which strike the senses, unquestionably that of darkness is the more magnificent. We see but one sun by day, and that a star of the second or third magnitude; we see countless suns by night of every color and brilliancy. And scattered amongst them, here and there, vast nebulae, the seeds or laboratories of other universes; and we know that creation and destruction, the weaving of gases into suns, and the dissolution of suns into gases; and the evolution of planets around every sun; and the creation and conservation of vast intelligences on each planet – that all these processes are eternally going on, there in the workshops of the Eternal Mind, that stretches in its vast immensity through space, and is ubiquitous in its operations as well as infinite by its presence. What is the little work of our planet, lighted by one pale star, to this? What the birth of mere plants and flowers, the revolution of momentary seasons, the petty history of men, with their little wars and conquests, compared to the vast operations of the universe? You see littleness by day, greatness by night, limitations in the sunlight, infinity in the dark; man’s little work by day, God’s stupendous operations by night. And so, when we come to read more familiarly the book of the heavens, and astronomy becomes popular from being an occult science, men will watch the stars all night; and derive from the ever-growing wonder and mystery of the Universe deeper veneration and greater love for the Mighty Spirit that rules and operates through all.”
