52 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



the child of the divorce of Spirit and Wisdom, and the return 

 of Existence, the first quality of God the Mother, commences 

 to be reunited, and as the power of the Spirit of God the 

 Mother slowly increases in activity in conjunction with the 

 Spirit of God the Father, to create Life, Love, Imagination, 

 Comprehension and Religion, the rudiments of which are 

 evolved as the second and third personalities of God's Trinity 

 return to Creation. 



The dawn of the world commences with the creation of 

 innumerable molecules of gaseous or loveless ether in its turn 

 to give place to fiery planets, in their turn to become rocks, 

 stones, earth, water and air, and to be subdivided into dead 

 and living matter. And the material world becomes an accom- 

 plished fact, for infinity begets existence, existence begets 

 destruction, destruction begets recreation, creation begets life, 

 and Matter, the by-product of reconstruction, comes into exist- 

 ence, for Matter is only the portion of existence not required 

 by recreation for the reconstruction of life which becomes 

 motionless. For in the same way that infinity necessitated 

 existence, so finity necessitated destruction and disintegration, 

 which in turn necessitated reconstruction, again necessitated 

 recreation. Thus a material universe made out of dead and 

 live parts is evolved out of but contained within an infinite 

 immaterial spiritual existence. But remember, Infinity, being 

 infinite, cannot be increased or reduced, or by all laws of reason 

 and logic it wofuld cease to be infinity. And with reincarna- 

 tion a limited amount of soul is returned to the world with the 

 creation of the mind of animals and of man, and with the re- 

 union of Existence and Soul to Spirit, and the consequent 

 production of Human Will, Love and Wisdom as the con- 

 trolling forces of Imagination, Love and Minds are created to 

 supersede the previous developments of the Trinity of Instinct 

 or animal mind, composed of power (the force of action), 

 Thought and Life, and thus the second epoch of Creation 

 dawns upon the world of Evolution, THE EPOCH OF HOPE. 



Before bidding adieu to the Epoch of Faith, I must pause 

 to define the distinction between Power and Will. POWER 

 is the Spirit of God that is able to will and perform ; WILL is 

 the power of man that is finite by which he performs what he 

 is able, and the Epoch of Hope is to evolve his will.
