He who has been re1leemecl ha11 not only dominion over this
monr~ter death, but gove1·ns, through the godlike r~ph•itual
power!'! within, the element.••, prindples, and fornes uf the unseen
realm of cause, and the seen an1l partially unllerstootl
realm of effect. Tht·ongh an understanding of these un~~een
laws of creation, man iR able to gain abRolute dominion over
hiR fleRhly tabernaele, the phyRical Lolly. He makes it pure
and free from the taint of the serpent, the1·eby permitting tbt~
power of the Holy Spirit to have free atlcesR; and stwh iR the
infinite law, that, when man cleanseR the temple, God'to~ spit·it
enters ancl takes aLRolute control, which condition enahleA the
Apit·itual ego to realize powet• and ahility to command; for, like
,Jesus, our Lord, he bas l't~ad1ed earthly perfention,-he and the
Father are one. Thill state can only he •·eauhe1l aftet· the inner
man has, through the undet·standing of the name of God, and
by the power of the will, cleansed the temple and ft·eed it f1·om
the darkened souls and elementat•ies, fo1·med and formleRR,
which infe11t the hndies of all who inhabit fle11h. These entiti«.>R
are ghouls, who feaRt and fatten upon the life element!! gather.

If wan desit·eR to be nmuhe1·ed with thl' redeemed of eat·th,
