ntered within the area of this planet's vibrations, as in that of the
other planets. The finite mind cannot conceive of a state of being apart
from motion, space or time, even though these concepts are crude in their
relation to the state of consciousness to which the sum of all
consciousness is tending, whether the individual would, or not.

We speak of "the heavens" when we refer to the immeasurable, and little
known region of the solar system, and we use the same term when we refer to
a state of being in which the perfected soul of man will finally enter. And
this term implies that when we are thus in heaven, we are _with_ God, if
not _absorbed into_ God.

Jesus, the master, taught the coming of the kingdom of God _on earth_ and
urged mankind to _pray_ for its coming, asking that the will of God
(or gods) be done on earth as it is in the heavens, from which it is not
illogical to infer that the earth itself, as a planet, is not outside the
pale of that blissful state which we ascribe to God, and which, at the same
time, we expect to enter without being swallowed up in the sense that we
lose that consciousness which cognizes itself as an eternal verity.

If then, the "heavens" as applied to the planets revolving above the earth
in the solar system, and "Heaven" as a term used to describe a state of
happiness, bliss, samadhi, nirvana, or "life with God," be synonymous it
may reasonably be inferred that in the solar system are planets upon which
live sentient beings, in a state to which we on earth, are seeking to
attain; a state wherein so-called evil has been eliminated and the good
retained.

In fact, we may see with none too prophetic eyes the elimination of evil
right here in the visible. All who have attained a glimpse of Illumination
have reported the loss of the "sense of sin and death," and have retained
this feeling of security and "all-is-well-ness" as long as they have lived
thereafter.

From the old conception of "evil" as a positive, opposing and independent
force, modern thought, in all its branches, namely science; religion;
social evolution, and philosophy, has arrived at the conclusion that evil
is not a power or force in and of itself, but that it is evidence of a
limited degree of consciousness which sees only one side of a subject--only
a limited area of an infinitely wide and varied manifestation of the one
supreme consciousness. Therefore, it is, that evil per se, does not exist
as power, but
