CHAPTER I 



COURSE OF EVOLUTION 



IN this book we will endeavour to trace the course of the 

 evolution of Matter and the gradual evolution of creation and 

 compare the same with our hypothesis, taking first, the 

 Creation of Nature, then of Life, of Plants and of Man ; his 

 conquest over the animal kingdom ; then over the Devil he 

 has himself created ; then over the world (at present the evolu- 

 tion of the world has not advanced beyond the second stage 

 of its existence, wherein man is only beginning to understand 

 how to control the universe of Matter), and he will, as the 

 course of evolution advances, learn to govern all nature and 

 ultimately to use all things without abuse ; and lastly to con- 

 quer himself, and by so doing, to gain the reward of Heaven 

 and Immortality. In this treatise, however, I do not intend 

 to go beyond the present age of evolution. 



In order to become the highest evolution of the animal or 

 angelic period, the age of beasts, he had to become the most 

 perfect devil, for can you imagine a bigger devil than a perfect 

 human beast. This brings us to the end of the first Epoch, 

 that of Faith, and we will therein prove that angels are only 

 the subjects of the animal kingdom which could not control 

 their acts, so could not sin, because they had not yet de- 

 veloped perfect wills of their own, but were ruled by the will 

 of God, thus proving the creation of the world of angels and 

 their fall to be the Mammoth Creation, which, despite its 

 magnificent development, by its final extinction was conquered 

 by the mental superiority of Man, who gained this by the 

 creation of the Devil, which he became when he learnt to sin 

 by becoming a murderous cannibal and crafty beast. In the 

 past, as will be clearly demonstrated as we go on, man has 

 had practically no powers of understanding till within the last 

 hundred years, but he has now reached the third and last stage 

 of his development, and will in future be able to understand 

 as well as comprehend the truths of Revelation, and so be able
