82 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



Now, as I have mentioned a minute ago, this age also marks 

 the early dawn of religion, and as I shall point out elsewhere 

 it is probable that this early stage of Mongolian civilisation 

 gave to the world its first form of worship, it is also probable 

 that it gave to the world the first of the probably three heaven- 

 born sons of God the Mother that were to create religion and 

 enable man to inherit woman's powers of love and sympathy, 

 comprehension and invention. 



So I here take the opportunity to ask my reader to pause 

 and consider the wording of this quotation from Genesis, 

 " And Adam knew Eve his wife, who conceived and brought 

 forth Cain, saying I have gotten a man through God." And I 

 ask you, dear reader, does not this wording imply that at this 

 time of evolution there was such a birth of a God made man ? 



So we now find that woman has commenced the work of her 

 existence, namely, the redemption of man, for on this the 

 Ninth Day she starts to increase his love for her and her 

 home and her children, and to cure his love of murder and 

 cannibalism and hunting, hatred and revenge, and his insati- 

 able love of meat food, and to turn his attention to the con- 

 sumption of a greater amount of vegetable food, and, as the 

 cultivation of the soil increases, small settlements arise and 

 tribes and villages grow up and the ground work of civilisation 

 commences. 



Now, reading across the line No. 9 in Table II., we find 

 that Comprehension gives us the dawn of Understanding, 

 which marks the age of Civilisation in Table III., and the 

 conception of the science of agriculture. 



We now arrive at the Tenth Day. This is marked by the 

 fifth marriage of God's Trinity, Table II., viz., Thought, 

 Life and Knowledge, the result of which is Study, and Study 

 evolves Religion, as shown in Table III. This is the greatest 

 miracle in the Epoch of Hope, namely, the miracle of our 

 redemption, which is to enable woman to redeem and civilise 

 man by the aid of three God-born men and religion, and is 

 second of the miracles made by God to prove his prerogative 

 to rule man and the world he has created. In the Epoch of 

 Faith he reverses the laws of heat and cold and of weight in 

 water to prove that he can rule natural laws when he thinks fit 

 to do so. And in the Epoch of Hope he makes this exception 

 of redemption to prove that he can alter the laws of birth,
