"The truths of Initiatic Science often reappear in some form or
other as rules or customs instituted by humans, which last at
least for a time. One example of this is the right of sanctuary.
In olden times, if someone guilty of a crime was being pursued
and was able to enter the sanctuary of a god, they came under the
protection of that god, and no one had the right to seize them.
The custom still existed in the Middle Ages when, of course, the
churches served as refuges, which can still happen today. This
tradition is based on knowledge concerning the spiritual life:
anyone who succeeds in finding refuge in God, despite being
pursued by inner or outer enemies, finds safety. While they
remain on high, on the peaks of the soul and the spirit, their
pursuers are kept at bay."
