44 THE THRESHOLD OF EVOLUTION 



teenth Day of Creation, which will probably be about a 



hundred thousand years hence. 



The Epoch with which we are about to deal, that of Hope, 

 is to be devoted to the development of the human mind, by 

 the evolution of the two first attributes of his soul, the facul- 

 ties of Imagination and Comprehension; for I take it that 

 these two of the three faculties of the soul, only make the 

 human mind, and this is all that will be completely evolved 

 during the Epoch of Hope for with the exception of a very few 

 instances amongst the wisest men, the gift of wisdom is not 

 yet evolved yet the conception of wisdom began some thou- 

 sand years ago with the evolution of the first attribute of his 

 soul, Imagination. For the Epoch of Faith ended on the 

 Seventh Day with the creation of the power of Will in man, 

 which is the finite creation of the Spirit of the First Person 

 of God the Father in mankind. So we find that the first half 

 of the Epoch of Hope is devoted to the development of the 

 Spirit of God the Father, viz., Imagination, and the second 

 half to the evolution of the Spirit of God the Mother, Com- 

 prehension. It therefore appears to me, that as the Epoch of 

 Hope is to commence with the evolution of the mind of man, 

 this is the fittest place for me to pause and show how my 

 hypothesis accounts for the evolution of the mind of mankind. 



I have pointed out how the evolution of mind is influ- 

 enced by the upward and downward currents of the electrical 

 forces of soul. These now begin to effect Man's development, 

 for he has acquired the power to stand upright, which brings 

 the length of his brain and spine into the right position to be 

 influenced by these currents, so he is now no longer to be 

 controlled by the attributes of God the Father, those of 

 blind obedience, but by those of God the Mother, Comprehen- 

 sion, and slightly by those of God the Soul. By the incarna- 

 tion or dawn of Wisdom, these evolutions are now to advance 

 Thought to Imagination, and Imagination to Comprehension, 

 and so evolve his mind. His soul will not be evolved till after 

 the birth of Understanding after A.D. 1800. 



I will therefore in this chapter illustrate to my reader, how, 

 as shown in my Hypothesis, the withdrawal of the second 

 and third persons of God's Trinity and their gradual return 

 to creation, in the form of their attributes has affected, and 

 must continue to affect the evolution of the mind of animals
