46 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



plishes the first divorce of His Trinity. We now come to the 

 second divorce. He now withdraws the attribute of God the 

 Soul, Invisible Wisdom, and substitutes in its place the first 

 attribute of God the Mother which is Existence, leaving this 

 second trinity of creation Invisible Power, Material Power 

 (which is chemical action), by crystallisation and Existence. 

 This trinity created the age of Affinity or Construction of the 

 nebular system, and produces the material universe of visible 

 existence, thus making the second stage of creation, the age of 

 Flames, and the second divorce of God's Trinity, the divorce 

 of the spirit of wisdom ; which gives rise to matter devoid of 

 thought or wisdom. 



We have now disposed of the two first days of divorce dur- 

 ing which on both days only one attribute of two of the Three 

 Persons of God's Trinity has been at work. But the rest of 

 the plan of creation is to be a progressive one ; the future course 

 of creation is to be one of an increase of new and fresh influ- 

 ences or forces, not one of reduction ; so the rest of its stages 

 are not divorces, but marriages of the attributes of God's 

 Trinity. 



Reading now along line three of Table II. we find that the 

 spirit of Motion and Light now marries, that is to say, is 

 increased by that of Existence. This marriage gives birth to 

 Love in its lowest forms of affinity, viz., reading on to the 

 results we find that the forces of Chemical Action, Existence 

 and Love, make up the Trinity of Matter. This has truly 

 been the case as regards the creation, for we have now arrived 

 at the final completion of the creation of Matter, and the con- 

 ception that is to give birth to Plant Life is now laid in the 

 formation of the world of Matter. So henceforth Nature is no 

 longer to be a selfish creation, existing for itself. The struggle 

 for the existence of others is now to commence and makes the 

 dawn of Love in evolution, for the plant is to sacrifice the 

 labour of its life, its beauty and flowers, to give birth to its 

 seeds which are to create the lives of other plants which are to 

 follow it. And the whole of future evolution is to be devoted 

 in some shape or other towards living for those who are to 

 come after us. Oh, how much better a world it will be to live 

 in when the further advancement of evolution will make man 

 wise enough to comprehend this fact, and I sincerely hope that 

 this little book will help him to learn the great lesson of the
