as divine ideas, that is, to have involved into matter. We attach new significance to that statement of
Jesus, "No man hath ascended up to heaven but he that came down form heaven" (John 3: 13). How
easy then for both religion and science to accept as truth the idea that every living form contains buried
within it the image of that which it is one day to become. As the seed buried in the earth,true to the urge
of its locked-in image, awakens to become its fulfilment, so the seed or "germ" implanted in every living
form follows the divine urge to become the expressed fulfilment of that divine image. The processes of
Nature and the experiences of earth existence are the forces which awaken the slumbering life and stir it
to awareness and eventual consciousness. Thus the dual process of Involution and Evolution, of life
descending and forms ascending, completes our Philosophic Cross.
