TABLES OF TRINITY 51 



world will be ruled by the will of man instead of the power of 

 God, subject to a fee simple of veneration to his Creator, and 

 three of the attributes of God the Father, viz., Invisibility, 

 the Power of God and Memory, will be withdrawn even when 

 man has evolved the soul of wisdom and is able to govern 

 himself as well as the rest of creation, which he will be able 

 to do when all the attributes of God the Father, God the 

 Mother, and God the Soul, which were withdrawn to start 

 Creation, shall have been slowly returned and man shall have 

 evolved wisdom enough to understand divine revelation, which 

 at present he can only comprehend. Religion cannot teach 

 him to understand, for as will hereafter be demonstrated, 

 religion is an attribute of God the Mother and can only teach 

 him to comprehend and believe because, being one of the pro- 

 perties of God the Mother, it can only descend through the 

 female agency of mankind ; so until man has evolved his own 

 soul he will not be able to fully understand revelation, or 

 control his acts with any approach to perfect wisdom. 



Hitherto his fight has been to conquer the material forces of 

 Nature, assisted by the possession of comprehension, faith 

 and belief, through the refining influences of woman* s love 

 miraculously assisted by the God-born redeemers she has given 

 to the world. 



So now God withdraws his second and third persons from 

 His first personality, and so sets free his first attribute of God 

 the Father, the infinite power of activity; and the world's 

 evolution now commences to be governed through the first 

 Epoch of Faith, the age of blind obedience to the power of the 

 Spirit of God ; then through the second Epoch of Hope, by 

 its fruitful trust in the undisputed belief in the doctrines of its 

 redeemers through the ages of religion ; and lastly through 

 the Epoch of Charity which has in the last hundred years 

 begun to dawn in the mind of mankind. 



So now that the Spirit of God the Mother and God the Soul 

 is withdrawn, Creation takes place in the order and sequence 

 shown on the right-hand side of Table III., and a new exist- 

 ence commences by the molecules of ether of God the Almighty 

 flying into space in the form of gaseous ether to be whirled 

 throughout endless space, till Love returning shall slowly 

 draw their particles together again by the action of affinity,
