And lastly 



I love with my whole being. 

 I know that I am part of God

If we now try to consider the connection between the 

 Spiritual and Physical Ego. we have to recognize that the 

 Human Race is still in its infancy, we still require Symbolism 

 to help us to maintain and carry abstract thought to higher 

 levels, even as children require picture books for that purpose. 

 With all our advance in knowledge during the last hundred 

 years we are indeed still as children playing with pebbles on 

 the seashore, knowing neither why we are placed there nor 

 what those pebbles are or whence they come. Though we seem 

 ever to be discovering fresh truths concerninsj the relations of 

 these pebbles among themselves when arranged in different 

 patterns, built up into new forms, or split up into smaller 

 fragments, we have to acknowledge (substituting thoughts for 

 pebbles) that we are still only learning our alphabet and tho 

 simple rules of multiplication, addition, and division, which 

 must be mastered before we can hope to take the real step 

 towards understanding ; we are surrounded by mysteries, we 

 are indeed a mystery to ourselves, we do not know even 

 how the Physical Ego is connected with the physical world ; 

 how the sense organs, receiving tlie impression of multi- 

 tudinous and diverse frequencies of different intensities and 

 amplitudes, transmit them to the brain, and how the mind 

 is able to combine all these impressions and form concepts. 

 We have but lately learnt that our senses can only be affected 

 by changes or movement in matter or in the all-pervading 

 ether, that they can only act under certain specific modes which 

 we call Time and Space and that, as our conceptions are based 

 on knowledge limited by these two modes, we have, apart from 

 " Pevelation," no means of knowing the Transcendental except 

 by noting its effect upon the Physical. By examining the 

 Physical Universe we seem to see clearly, however, that the 

 only Eeality is the Spiritual, the Here and the Now, that our 

 real Personality being Spiritual is independent of Space and 

 Time limitation and is, therefore. Omnipresent and Omniscient ; 

 it may, indeed, be not solely connected with the Physical Ego of 

 this world, but in close working connection with otlier Physical 

 Egos in the Universe, and may in some wonderful process, 

 through its affinity with the Great Spirit, be helping the
