“Quod tanto impendio absconditur etiam solummodo demonstrare destruere est.” Tertullian
When a thing is hidden away with so much pains, merely to reveal it is to destroy it.
Invocation to the Flame
I call upon Thee, O Living God, radiant with illuminating fire! O unseen parent of the Sun! Pour forth Thy light giving power and energize Thy divine spark. Enter into this flame and let it be agitated by the breaths of Thy Holy Spirit. Manifest Thy power and open for me the temple of Almighty God which is within this fire! Manifest Thy light for my regeneration, and let the breadth, height, fullness and crown of the solar radiance appear, and may the God within shine forth.
Gradations of His Spiritual Creatures
The purpose of this book is to point out to man the possibility of his own divine evolution and to make plain to him that through obedience to the highest instincts and impulses which he knows, he may evolve from darkness into light, from knowledge into understanding, and from understanding into Wisdom Found which is the consciousness of the Universal Mind.
It is true that God manifests through the gradations of His spiritual creatures, for the Creator is omnipresent in His Creation and inseparable from it. Therefore knowledge of the Creator or true religion, and knowledge of His Creation or exact science, are in their essence one. And as the scientist of today recognizes as being between the vegetable and animal kingdoms, certain forms of life which demonstrably partake of the nature of, and may be claimed by both; so the scientist of the future will have power to discern that man is by nature both human and divine, possessing at once the attributes of humanity and the elements of a Godhood, the science of whose evolution is as exact and as logical as the science of mathematics. Hence the religion of the future will be a knowledge of Truth which instruct humanity as to its place in the Divine Plan and as to the Law of Nature, God, which wills obedience from all things.
