36 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



human love is never to be free from distrust or jealousy. 



Human wisdom is to be forever incomplete, for man is never 



to be absolutely free of sin or failure, for, as will hereafter 



be demonstrated, if such a result were to transpire, he must 



become another Infinite being or for ever remain a mortal 



animal. 



But line No. 5 is our next line of imperfection. These are 

 KNOWLEDGE, INVENTION and USE. These are three 

 qualities that are never to become perfect, for man is never to 

 be entirely free from errors in knowledge ; so long as the 

 world goes on there is to be further room for invention, and 

 he will never learn to use his abilities or surroundings with 

 such perfection that he will be entirely free from abusing to 

 some extent, in some way or other, Nature's gifts, or missing 

 her opportunities. 



Line No. 3 and No. 6 are the complete trinities. Taking 

 line No. 3 first, we have THOUGHT, LIFE, and MIND. 

 These are to become complete in the course of evolution, but 

 are not to be everlasting, for Thought is to give place to 

 Reason, Life is to give way to Immortality, Mind is to be 

 replaced by Soul when evolution is complete. Taking line No. 

 6, we have PEACE, COMFORT, and CONTENT. These 

 three are to become complete during evolution, and are to 

 complete the evolution of man, but are not everlasting, as they 

 are to be replaced by line No. 7, which is eternal and is the 

 JOY, PLEASURE, and HAPPINESS that make Heaven. 

 This only leaves line No. 4 unaccounted for, which, like No. 7, 

 if eternal and everlasting, and we find it reads IMAGINA- 

 TION, COMPREHENSION, and UNDERSTANDING, the 

 three attributes of the Trinity that constitute the Human 

 Soul, just as SPIRIT, EXISTENCE, and SOUL were the 

 divine attributes of the Divine Soul of the Creator. 



I think this is enough to illustrate to the reader how this 

 mathematical table acts, and may be used as a check on any 

 table of trinity when we are able to reduce matters in evolution 

 to a tabular form. 



My first feeling was that I might be a dupe of some mental 

 hallucination, and that in a day or so I would see the absurdity 

 of the ideas these tables had conjured up in my mind, so I 

 endeavoured to dismiss them from my thoughts, but at the 

 end of two or three days I decided that I would again look at
