PAGE 



A discussion of the nature of the memory of the ascended 

 Christ 176 



Can we reconcile the idea of an added experience to the idea 



of a Transcendent God? 178 



Is the end experienced by God even before process? . .179 



The study of personality, and the doctrine of the Trinity, 

 furnish us with material for the solution of this problem . 181 



CHAPTER VI 

 IMMORTALITY 



Chance impressions received in early childhood, especially 

 emotional shocks, have a very great effect on the mental 

 outlook of the adult 186 



There exists widespread doubt as to human immortality in 

 spite of a strong yearning for life after death. This is due to 

 the unsound theological teaching prevalent, with its insist- 

 ence on the unlike ness of God and man . . . .188 



Personal being both changes and persists through change . 190 



If personality can be extinguished the universe is not 

 rational, for all development is crowned with the emergence 

 of personality 191 



The great argument for the immortality of man lies in the 

 identity of his nature with that of God. Human transcen- 

 dence is the same as Divine Transcendence ... 194 



The difficulty of accepting this idea lies in the fact that the 

 timelessness of man had a beginning, while that of God 

 always existed. But timelessness is, however, a quality of 

 bting, of personality. Does the fact that our personality is 

 in part transcendent mean that it is also immortal? . . 195 



Personality in its essence connotes a threefold being; and the 

 threefold nature of man is the same as the threefold nature of 

 God, and the enduringness (timelessness) of man is the same 

 as the enduringness (timelessness) of God .... 197 



The difficulty that God is uncaused, man caused, is met by 

 the contention that personality is personality whatever its 

 genesis, and that enduringness is cme of its qualities . .198 



The question of memory in other possible existences; and an 

 argument against the theory of re-incarnation on earth . 201 



The Doctrine of the Trinity gives a fresh cause for certainty 



of our immortality 201
