52 THE THRESHOLD OF EVOLUTION 



I must draw the attention of my reader to the fact that 

 all the higher qualities of God's Trinity are developed in the 

 animal mind in the form of the vice opposite to the virtue 

 they represent (see 5, 6, 7, 17, 19, 20, 21 on the left-hand 

 side of Table V.). 



We now move on to Table VI., and in this Table I wish 

 to point out to my reader, that during the first seven days 

 of Creation the power of God the Father ruled all Evolution 

 by the forces of Action, Power and Motion, uncontrolled by 

 the Soul of Wisdom, and very slightly influenced by the 

 Spirit of Love. For as has been demonstrated, the spirit of 

 God the Father ruled the Epoch of Faith, only influenced to a 

 slight extent by the Spirit of God the Mother, and it is not 

 till man was sufficiently evolved to have a will of his own 

 that he was created as man, not as animal, in the likeness of 

 God. Hence it is not till then that the second new departure 

 takes place, for I maintain that the dawn of mind in animals 

 on the Fourth and Fifth Days of Creation marks as distinct 

 a departure in Evolution over the material and vegetable king- 

 doms, as the dawn of the birth of Mind on the Seventh, 

 Eighth, and Ninth days of Creation which marks the second 

 departure by the creation of the mind of man as compared 

 with that of the animal, and that the completion of Mind and 

 Incarnation of Soul on the Fifteenth Day, the present stage of 

 Evolution, by the birth of Understanding, marks the third and 

 final and most important of this trinity of departures in the 

 Evolution of Mind. 



I will therefore now proceed to continue our comparison 

 by the aid of Table VI., in which I desire to illustrate how 

 the return of the four or five first attributes of God the Mother, 

 who is, throughout the Epoch of Hope, to rule creation, and 

 the first three attributes of God the Soul, combined with the 

 attributes of God the Father, and then with the united in- 

 fluence of the entire Trinity as the power of God the Soul re- 

 enters into creation. These influences are to be the means of 

 creating these three departures for which the laws of nature 

 are insufficient evidence, and in Tables VI. and VII. it is my 

 object to point out how the hypothesis of this treatise is the 

 only one that can satisfactorily explain these hitherto un- 

 accountable departures, by demonstrating that they are only a 

 further extension of the action of God's Trinity upon the 

 emotions first evolved.
