CONFIRMS SCIENTIFIC EVOLUTION 71 



from the animal creation. I hold he was a special 

 creation, as Moses says he was; but that special 

 creation was not his body that may have been 

 evolved from the lowest forms of animal life through 

 many ages, and is no part of the real man. It was 

 woven by electric law and energy as an overcoat of 

 atoms for his earthly habitation. Man's body is not 

 man, but the house in which he lives for a time, the 

 earthly temple of the soul. Moses affirms this when 

 he says "God breathed into man the breath of life, 

 and man became a living soul." It is the breath of 

 God, the atom of Deity, the living soul that con- 

 stitutes man, and that was a special creation. This 

 I have discussed at length in " Invisible Light." I 

 hold no law of evolution could bridge the gulf be- 

 tween man and the animal creation. The fixity of 

 brute instinct, and the boundless expansion of men- 

 tal and psychic force in man forbid such a conclusion 

 and confirm Moses, who says he was made lord over 

 the earth and all animal creations. Man has three 

 bodies a spiritual, an electric and a physical body. 

 Animals have only two an electric and physical 

 body. And both the electric and physical bodies of 

 men and animals came from the same source and 

 are governed by the same laws. Animal instinct is 

 not spirit, is not a part of Deity, it cannot dream 

 of God or heaven, or comprehend the universe or 

 weigh suns and worlds. 



It knows only the electric impulses of the material 

 senses and reasons from these alone, and, by balanc- 

 ing one sense by another, attains an experience 

 which in time becomes an automatic habit or force 

 of nature under the law of its electric organism. It 

 feels all sensations, like hunger, passion or fear, as
