1897.] THE SEVEN CKKATIVE PKINCIPu;s. 363
'
Could you, with the spiritual eye of an angel, look into the
organism of a regenerate man or woman, you would see there
the same great changeR and destruction of the unfit every cyole
of the moon, aJICl a greater and more general conflagration
every cycle of the earth, bt.>ginning with Christmas day. These
are two cydes within the limit of the experience of every one
who i11 able to summon the will to live the regenea-ate life.
God's law that deals with man is the same that lfOrks in and
deals with eve•·ything in the universe: there are no exceptions
made fm· the person of any man, but wherever and whenever
one is able to pel'(~eive these divine law11 and method•, and put
his body and mind in ha1·uumy with them, be will inevitably
obtain the result11.
But the question always a~~ked. as sewn a11 these thoughts are
presented, is, " W by have not these things bt>en known and these
condition11 obtained in the past 't" .Jesus, when be was here
uearly niueteen hundrecl years ago, anRwerecl this question by
a quotation from I~~aiah (vi. 9-12): •• Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed. hut understand not; and see ye indeed, but
perceive not. :\lake the heart of this people fat, and make
theil· ears heavy. and shut their eye11; le11t they see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, ancl undet·stand with their heart
a.Utl convea·t, and be healed. Then said 1. Lord, how long?
And be answerecl, Until the cities be waatecl without inhabitant,
and the hou11es without man, and t.he land be utterly desolate,
and the Lot·cl have removed men far away, and there be a
great forsaking in the midst of the land."
Here the declaration is unmistakably made, that God will
shut their t>yes that they !!hall not see, and their ears that they
shall not hear. and that this will continue until this time of
di110rgauizatiou by the higher fires of Transmutation shall be
well undea· way ; ancl they are now only just beginning. If we
review the recorcl of event>4 for the paRt year, the commotion o{
the elenu.•nt!l. as well a11 that of nation!!, plainly point to the beginning
of thiM great change.
Many argue that, from the time of the ancients, these great
methoc.ls and laws have bt-en known to the mystics. We admit
that many of these laws have been known, and through them.
