n order to lay the foundation of the world; for time was not,
and existence was recorded only by ages and aeons. But seven times
their infernal progeny were nearly all swept off the planet by awful
cataclysms and the whole affair had to be begun over again.
IMPERFECTIONS REVEALED.
The soul digs deep into the age-long deposits of knowledge, the results
of countless experiences, and brings up the Real.
This has to be, the most successful egotist, the most deluded hypocrite
must inevitably meet up with himself some day and begin to know the
truth versus make-believe.
All souls are so veiled in the flesh, and held by the crowding
necessities of their lives, that it is only on rare, unexpected
occasions that the individual soul can throw down the barriers and show
of what it is capable.
WORLD ORIGIN.
To be able to understand, even to our limited degree, something of our
origin, and the purpose of our existence is most comforting and
sustaining. In the beginning, the Creator sent to this planet a given
number of beings intended for the exemplification of the law of
evolution and soul growth. In the everlasting rounds of human life, no
new souls are being created and sent here to work out their salvation
through their experiences incident to the life of this young planet,
earth. What appears to our limited perception to be the beginning of
new lives is so only in relation to their present embodiment. All new
souls now being born here are but returning from some other phase of
existence. The whole human race is one family. Bound to the wheel of
life, every individual soul must pass through all of the varied
experiences that are set for its evolution. What they are not today,
they have been, or must become. But not all people march over just the
same highway to reach the soul's status. Details of experience do not
count. It is the lesson learned, and practically applied that forwards
the unfoldment of the individual in a comprehension and understanding
of God's eternal truth. Only results in all things, temporal and
spiritual, attest the unfoldment and growth of each and every soul.
It is only when man has evolved to the point of being more than a man,
"a little lower than the angels," that the higher spheres of activity
are necessary for his further progress. To expect to develop in the
worlds of finer substance than that of earth before he has learned all
