The Life Spark and the Soul Spark 



But from whence came the Soul Spark? Did it descend 

 as a Divine gift of super-consciousness at any one time or 

 place or did it travel the evolutionary road in its develop- 

 ment the same as the Life Spark has done? It must be 

 admitted that the Source from which these forces came was 

 the same in the beginning, is now and ever will be the same 

 but the Creative Plan was that these forces should be revealed 

 to man according to the law of evolutionary development. 

 When there is a constant sequence of events related as cause 

 and effect, this causal relationship is defined as a law. There 

 are natural laws and man-made laws. The natural or God- 

 made laws embrace all actions arising from or out of all 

 physical bodies and since both the power of Mind and Spirit 

 have been incarnated in the body of man, and since they both 

 came from the same source and are a part of the Creative 

 Plan, it is reasonable to assert that it is only through experi- 

 ence that the elements of genius and the germs of divinity 

 have been developed in the lives of mankind. There are 

 moments of inspiration but development comes through 

 experience and growth. 



The Bible states — "There is a natural body, and there 

 is a spiritual body." And again — "Howbeit that was not 

 first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and after- 

 wards, that which is spiritual." There is no scientific formula 

 by which the existence of the Spirit may be proved neither 

 is there one by which a mother can prove she loves her child ; 

 but in a search after Truth, we are not limited to a scientific 

 investigation. The Infinite Life or the God-spirit in us is 

 not manifested through the special senses, but it is a con- 

 scious lifting force that is felt as joy and gladness.
