442 BIBLE nsvmw Oct. -Nov.<br />

signifying that the people of God pursue a method of<br />

life diametrically opposed to the life led by those who<br />

die, because they transgress the law of life. ln that<br />

world of perfection no man lives unto self, because the<br />

law of regeneration, or conservation and subsequent<br />

transmutation of the sexual fluids, cements all members<br />

into one homogeneous body, a <strong>com</strong>munity of cells, whose<br />

possessions of every name and nature are <strong>com</strong>munity<br />

property; while in the world where people live on the<br />

animal plane, each individual lives solely for self; and<br />

society in that world is a disjointed mass of sensuous<br />

personalities, each seeking its own happiness in the pursuit<br />

and the acquisition of perishable things. Nor do<br />

they possess a <strong>com</strong>mon bond in worship, for each man<br />

worships a god according to his individual conception,<br />

between all members such as is well known by the individual<br />

who knows what thoughts, feelings, and emotions<br />

transpire in his organic structure.<br />

It must be realized that God and Being is one ard tlfe<br />

same thing. Now being is endless, unbroken, conscious<br />

realization of one's own identity, and implies that the<br />

soul has never-ending access to that substance which<br />

gives it the realization in being. "Yet in my flesh shall<br />

I see God." (Job.) The soul of man is a creation posited<br />

between the Infinite Mind, and the changeable phenomena<br />

governed by time. These are the two roads, branching<br />

out of one source (See Gen. xxv.` 21-25Q), between
