i8o THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



quired to create the birth of our minds, and fifty to sixty 

 years to create full-grown wisdom in the life of man. So 

 probably in the life of evolution it will take proportionately 

 similar periods working co-jointly throughout thousands 

 of years in nature, as they do in life in the course of a few 

 years, to evolve mind and soul in man, but the absolute birth 

 of soul does not commence till the age of Charity. This 

 chapter is rather being written to prepare the reader for the 

 consideration of these facts and to point out to him that such 

 a hypothesis as the one we are now reviewing is too mighty 

 and important a subject, bearing as it does upon too many 

 various issues to be solved by the brain of any one man, but 

 must be reviewed by many men of many minds before it can 

 be knocked into such shape, size and appearance and expres- 

 sion of opinion as to be of clear understanding to all classes 

 of mind. Past and future evolutions must prove who says 

 what is correct ; but I maintain that in the truths of religion, 

 aided by the light of God's Trinity and instructed by the 

 science of evolution as in time we understand these better, are 

 and can ak>ne be the keys by which we will be able to find 

 many of the correct answers ; but if the treatise may furnish 

 a new and more correct book of answers in a large number of 

 cases to a larger number of mental sums, difficulties and 

 enigmas of religion and creation, than any previous hypothesis 

 has been able to account for, it will do all and more than the 

 author has a right to expect. I must now return to the sub- 

 ject of our chapter namely, the three classes of mind which 

 form the three likenesses of God's Trinity in the soul of man. 



The first is the group of mankind which possesses a mind 

 in the likeness and image of God the Father, that is to say, 

 a mind of imagination, which, as we elsewhere demonstrate, 

 is the lower or first evolved portion of soul in man. This 

 mind is male (see Table I., line 4) and is the fourth attribute 

 of God the Father. 



The second of these groups is the mind of God the Mother, 

 and is the mind of comprehension, which indicates the return 

 into creation of the spirit of both God the Father in combina- 

 tion with that of God the Mother to create -the dawn of Love 

 and Sympathy and religion in the mind of mankind. This is 

 the female mind and the second order of mind, and the fourth 

 attribute of God the Mother in Table I.
