SPIRIT INDIVIDUALIZED THROUGH MATTER.

As spirit _per se_ has no entity, and only evolves individuality
through its relationship with matter; and has no other conscious
expression; the so long-talked-of "Fall of man" was not a fall
downward, but it was a process upward, necessary to his being, to his
existence as man.

WORLD SIGNS.

Our planet, true to her everlasting record, has put forth her potent
reorganizing power to celebrate the ushering in of the new era.

Not less marvelous are the signs and indications of great changes
taking place upon the visible planes of the lives of men. Hand in hand
march the visible and the imponderable forces of this earthly life.
Ignorance and vapid superstitions can no longer block the doorway of
the living Christ.

God wills to know, and be known of his own, and to hold his love a free
gift to all races of men.

The trump of recollection and of recognition has sounded. The dead
have already risen, all along the lines, and no power can hale them
back to their dreams.

Onward, ever upward points the finger of progress. Long hoarded wisdom
and knowledge of the forces of nature are pouring into the minds of
seers, and of wizards of science; and these long separated and divorced
streams are evoluting to the unison of material and occult sciences,
which is destined to bring in the reign of peace and prosperity to all
the peoples of the earth, and to bring to light the relics of past
ages, cunningly hidden away in the vast womb of nature that they might
be preserved and brought forth to our knowledge in these later days.
By the undeniable record yielded up from buried cities and storied
crypts, and in the skeletons of mummies of both animals and men of
those most ancient times, she is showing us where she began the present
cycle, now closing in about the race, with great clattering of forces
and profound portents in earth and sky.

The equilibrium of the universe is maintained by the transition of its
forces. Atlantis, matured and ripened, sinks beneath the sea, and her
accumulated wealth of wisdom and knowledge is transferred to other
continents to arise at the appointed time to enrich and bless the land
of their adoption; and all art and science is but shining today in the
reflected, reawakened light of past ages.
