Bible Review V15: October 1916 - March 1918 - Iapsop.com

1916 THE GOAL 111
and unknown source, igniting itself into a blaze thru
swift descent, appears like lightning from heaven, still,
and forever will, the waters of the weak be subject to
those ever-spreading circles that engender individual existence
in the world of fermentation, and the soul immeshed
in a vital structure gains knowledge of life thru
experience. Sansation, therefore, is the ground where
the soul awakens, and the flesh, or elements, so dark and
forbidden, is, contradictory as it may appear, the source
of light, from the very fact that knowledge gained thru
experience, and used aright, leads the soul to irnmortali~
ty in form and function, and endless continuity in being.
Now man who awakens to unity with the source of his
being, does so while in the flesh, which ceases to do its
work of reproduction becoming the well of living waters,
which was demonstrated and voiced by the Lord, who is
the chief conner-stone of Christianity, by saying, "I and
my Father are One." He did not wait for disembodiment
to make this assertion, for unity implies that the body,
where sensation is the root of man's conscious being, has
become fully subservient to the soul which has penetrated
to the knowledge of the source of its being. If then
the Son has reached unity with the Will of the Universal,
it is plain that those who are the offspring of him who
is called Israel, in the course of time will return to the
constitution of a greater body than individual man, because
as many sons, they must form a social structure
governed by the same Spirit which was in Christ.
It must be observed that the Universal Man is a composition
of twelve spiritual qualities, or oceans of specific
thoughts, impulses, and use in being; the same as the
body of individual, diminutive man upon the earth is a
composition of functional spirits serving the soul in man,
and influenced in its existence by either the descending
currents of creative energy, or the ascending forces
