EVOLUTION OF MIND IN MAN 47 



of the analytic faculty so definite and marked a new departure 

 that we should emphasise it by saying that the faculty of 

 conception in its various specific grades differs generally from 

 the faculty of perception, and believing as I do that conception 

 is beyond the powers of my favourite and clever dog, I am 

 forced to believe that his mind differs generically from my 



own." 



But when you view the subject from the standpoint of 

 creation as demonstrated in this treatise, all these difficulties 

 vanish, and it becomes plain that what Mr. Morgan calls the 

 new departure, is easily and fully accounted for by the return 

 of the properties or attributes of God the Mother and God 

 the Soul, to do their respective parts towards the evolution 

 of the mind of man. Just as in the same way in the dawn of 

 creation, the return of the Spirit of God the Mother in the 

 form of Affinity, the lowest form of Love, caused the mole- 

 cules of gaseous ether to draw together and thereby create the 

 forces of construction; which had been dormant during the 

 earliest stages of disintegration; thus causing rest and con- 

 glomeration to supplant the powers of action and motion which 

 would otherwise have destroyed the whole of the newly-created 

 firmaments and precipitated them to their own destruction 

 had they not been stayed by concussion and tractation, and 

 precipitated by love and affinity into rest and thus have been 

 enabled to form Matter. So now the same forces are to enable 

 man to form a soul and mind, by forming Thought into 

 Imagination, Life into Comprehension, and Belief, and Mind 

 into the Wisdom of the Soul of Understanding, and to change 

 the invisible power of the existence of God and the soul of 

 God into the visible Will, Love and Wisdom of Man. 



Having progressed thus far, we may now endeavour to com- 

 pare the foundation and development of the mind of an animal 

 with that of the mind and soul of man, and then the mind of 

 an animal with that of a child. ' Why not admit our ignor- 

 ance, priest and philosopher alike? " exclaimed Professor 

 Tyndall. And so for ever both priest and philosopher, I now 

 maintain, must bow their heads and acknowledge that in the 

 mystery of a better understanding of the Trinity of God and 

 its three personalities in one Infinite Creator, and the likeness 

 of the same in the soul of man, and in the evolution of these 

 same attributes and faculties, lies the only means of our ever
