40 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



chapter of Genesis, wherein, when stating the creation of the 

 soul of man to God's image and likeness, the wording is so 

 expressed as to imply that the likeness of the male and female 

 gender of man is also a likeness of a like gender in God. 

 This would lead us to conclude that the true interpretation 

 should read " God the Mother of Creation becomes the Son of 

 Man by taking a human male body to cover Her divine soul," 

 and as we go on we will demonstrate why this became neces- 

 sary on probably three occasions so as to enable women's love, 

 comprehension and invention to be transmitted from father to 

 son and grandson. It will also be shown that there were 

 probably three such redeemers born during the course of 

 evolution one in pre-historic times, Buddha, in almost pre- 

 historic times, for we may say that the name only is historical, 

 for the Buddhism of to-day is a corruption of an older cult, 

 Christ making a trinity of such births, if this had not been 

 done, religion would not have lived long enough to last till 

 man gained understanding, but would have been entirely lost 

 and destroyed by the onward march of governments and civi- 

 lisation, for there have been times when religions have been 

 almost wiped out of existence to permit of the evolution of 

 governments and science. So it appears to me that there were 

 three occasions that called for redemption. With apologies 

 for this digression, I will now return to the place where, for 

 the sake of argument, I was about to see what would result 

 if I made the supposition that to create a finite existence of 

 God would withdraw the second and third personalities of God 

 the Mother and God the Soul and their respective seven at- 

 tributes (See Table I.) from the personality of God the Father, 

 and leave His first attributes to control creation, and then 

 gradually return the powers of the attributes of God the 

 Mother and of God the Soul to co-operate with the powers of 

 the attributes of God the Father, and so evolve creation. 



This appeared to me to be the only logical supposition of 

 the way in which the Almighty could create a finite part of 

 His infinity ; and the only way to attain finity without at the 

 same time destroying infinity. For if you take away any 

 portion of infinity it at once ceases to be infinity, so that there 

 must be a re-arrangement of the portions of Infinity, not by 

 their total disconnection from infinity, but only by a re- 

 arrangement of His attributes can He create a finite existence
