56 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



Gas. The withdrawal of Love or Existence from Spirit and 

 Soul now leaves the Finite portion of Infinity to be controlled 

 by infinite power, and to a slight extent by infinite wisdom, 

 which in this case resolves itself into motion, the logical result 

 of which is the activity of infinite invisible power or motion 

 controlled, to a slight extent, by infinite wisdom, but uncon- 

 trolled by Love or Affinity. 



Now, activity controlled by wisdom and uncontrolled or un- 

 influenced by affinity or thought must produce and can only 

 produce the wisest form of destruction namely, ether in the 

 form of gas. The result of this is the first stage of Convolu- 

 tion and No. i, the first day of Genesis, and No. i in Table II., 

 which produces the formation of and existence of gaseous ether 

 in infinite motion, which is the stage when God created light, 

 the stage of destruction and disintegration which is to evolve 

 the firmaments of Heaven. God said " Let there be light. " 



No. 2, the second day of Genesis : We now come to the 

 second stage, and to No. 2 in Table II., when the second 

 divorce takes place. Now Soul is divorced to be gradually 

 returned to this earth when Man is evolved. But until then 

 the evolution of the world is to be carried on and directed by 

 the First and Second Personages of God's Trinity only, and 

 visible existence is to be produced by the return of the first 

 attribute of God the Mother which was withdrawn at the first 

 divorce, and Existence or Love returns to assist Power or 

 Activity to carry on the evolution of construction by the 

 return of the Spirit of Love producing affinity of the molecules 

 of disintegrated ether which the Spirit of Power has now dis- 

 tributed throughout space, and the world of planets, and stars, 

 and earth are created by the love of affinity drawing the mole- 

 cules together again, and so forming nebulae, for the affinity 

 of Love of each other has caused the particles of ether to 

 reunite by the forces of chemical action, attraction, and gravity 

 before they were whirled into the endless limits of eternity, 

 that bourne from which there is no return, which would have 

 resulted in total destruction. This is what is termed the Age 

 of FLAMES. The divorces of the Trinity are now complete 

 and the marriages commence. 



No. 3, Power, the finite attribute of Spirit marries Exist- 

 ence and begets Love, the result of which is Reconstruction 

 (see line 3, Table III.). This means that the Spirit of God,
