140 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



of Love and Comprehension (see Book II., Chapter IV., on the 

 Development of Mind), entering into active conjunction with 

 the spirits of God the Father and God the Mother, enables 

 man by a mysterious interposition of God Almighty to first 

 imagine the truths of Faith he cannot understand and then 

 to see and believe them. The imagination of them, produced 

 by an imperfect comprehension of the marvels of nature, leads, 

 as a natural outcome of the evolution of his superstition, to 

 Idolatry as a result of fear of the superhuman in nature. 



But the creation of religion and comprehension was 

 a departure beyond the power of human nature to produce, 

 and without which the human mind, civilisation, Commerce, 

 science and invention would have been forever beyond his 

 possibility. But now that religion has evolved these powers 

 and placed the powers of soul, wisdom and understanding 

 within his grasp, he is capable of a further departure as his 

 mind becomes more enlarged. But the evolution of the soul, 

 being a male not a female attribute of God's Trinity, Soul 

 like mind and thought and imagination, is a natural evolu- 

 tion natural to man without further superhuman aid. So if 

 my hypothesis is correct, it is quite in accordance with the 

 natural evolution of man for him to evolve his own soul. 

 Once its divine incarnation is complete and the birth of 

 understanding has been evolved within him, thus it logically 

 follows, if the hypothesis is correct, that as science advances 

 all religions of the past must be absorbed and reformed on 

 scientific as well as on religious lines to adapt them from a 

 spiritual to a practical measure of utility. Such a result 

 will be found to fit in with the order of evolution as set out 

 in the marriages of the Trinity, Tables II. and III. 



It would have been as far from the laws of descent 

 and evolution and the whole scheme of evolution, to have 

 expected a mind capable of understanding truth in early man, 

 as to look for a protozoon with the fully developed heart of 

 a bullock, thus necessary as religion has been in the past, 

 its influences in the future must be supplanted or at least 

 adapted to the evolution of thought and wisdom and know- 

 ledge, rather than by life, love and comprehension which is 

 the trinity of religion, and to bring this about it will be neces- 

 sary not to exaggerate, as has been done in the past, but to 

 explain the truths of nature while the physical body and the
