“We treat of Spirit as the Active and the only Self-Conscious Principle. We define Spirit as the First Cause or God; the Absolute Essence of all that is. It is also called the great, or the Universal, “I AM”. When Moses asked God who he should tell the Children of Israel had sent him, the answer was, “Thus shalt thou say, “I AM”, hath sent me unto you.” The reason why “I AM” was given is because this is an absolute statement. Spirit is Conscious Mind and is the Power Which knows Itself; It is conscious of Its own Being. The Spirit is Self-Propelling; it is Absolute and All. It is Self-Existent and has all life within Itself. It is the Word, and the Word is volition. It has choice because It is Volition; It is will, because It chooses; It is Free Spirit because It knows nothing outside Itself, and nothing different from Itself. Spirit is the Father-Mother God because It is the principle of Unity back of all things. The masculine and feminine principles both come from the One. Spirit is all Life, Truth, Love, Being, Cause and Effect; and is the only Power in the Universe that knows Itself.

The Soul of the Universe, not as opposed to the Spirit, but as the principle just beneath It, has always been taught as the receptive medium into which the Spirit lets fall the forms of Its thought. It is subjective to the Spirit; that which is subjective is always impersonal, neutral, plastic, passive and receptive. Wherever you find subjective law you will find something that is compelled to receive and to act upon; consequently, the Soul of the Universe has been called a “blind force, not knowing, only doing”, and “The servant of the Eternal Spirit throughout the ages.” It is the medium of the thought, power, and action of the Spirit.

…The Universe has been called the Great Trinity, or Triune Unity of Spirit, Soul, and Body. The body is the result, the effect, the objectification of Spirit. Soul is the Immaterial, plastic, and receptive medium; It is primordial or Cosmic Stuff; It is unmanifest form. Body is the result of Spirit working through Soul or Law. There is but one Body of the Universe; It is both visible and invisible; and within this one body are all of the lesser bodies, all of the manifest Universe, including the body of man. “But now are they many members yet but One Body.”

Spirit is the Absolute Being; and is the only power in the universe which has self-knowingness, volition, choice or will. The soul has no will; It has no purpose to execute other than the purpose that is given It. Soul is the servant of the Spirit, while body is the result of the union of Spirit with Soul. There is the Power, the way that It works and the result of Its operation; the Word, the law, and the effect; Intelligence, substance, and form; the Active Principle, the passive receptivity, and the relative condition. The Spirit of the Universe cannot change; the Soul of the Universe cannot change; the Body of the Universe cannot help changing.

…The Spirit cannot change because there is nothing for It to change into, Spirit being All; this is axiomatic. The Soul of the Universe cannot change; for it is simply Universal Substance and Law; and we know that energy and substance are indestructible and eternal. The Soul of the Universe cannot change; but, as stated above, the body of the universe is forever changing; and this is what constitutes the eternal activity of Spirit within Itself. Creation does not mean making something out of nothing. If by Creation we mean making something out of nothing, there is no such thing; but if we mean the passing of Spirit into form, then Creation is eternally going on.

It is necessary to understand that the only Active Principle is Spirit – Self-Conscious, Self-Knowing Life, and that all else is subject to Its will. The Spirit is conscious of Its own Thought, Its own Desire and manifestation; and It is conscious that Its desire is satisfied; consequently, It is conscious of that which It manifests; but It is not conscious of any effort or process in Its manifestation. It is necessary that Soul and Body should exist, because Spirit, without manifestation, would construct only a dream world, never coming into Self-Realization. Since Spirit must be manifested, in order to be Spirit, there must be a way in which It manifests, and there must be a manifestation; hence, Soul and Body.

…There is One First Cause, having three aspects: Spirit, Soul, and Body, i.e., Cause, Medium, and Effect; the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Masculine Activity, Feminine Activity, and Result. We should not think of three Gods, but of the Triune Nature of the One God, the One Cause. We think of Spirit as Absolute, Self-Conscious Intelligence. We think of Soul as Receptive to Intelligence; and of the Intelligence as always acting upon It. Spirit and Soul intersphere each other; i.e., both have Omnipresence.

The Spirit of the Universe permeates the Soul of the Universe, eternally impregnating It with ideas. The Soul of the Universe is the “Holy Womb of Nature”, producing the forms which appear in the physical Universe. The Body of the Universe is the result of the thought of Spirit, operating through the medium of Soul. This Trinity is called the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Father is Absolute, Positive Intelligence; the Son is the Offspring of the Father; the Holy Ghost is “the Servant of The Eternal Spirit throughout the Ages.”

Spirit is Absolute Intelligence, operating through the Soul of Receptive Intelligence, impregnating It with “The Divine Ideas.” Neither the Spirit nor the Soul of the Universe can change. That, which changes, is the Body of the Universe. Planets may appear and disappear as do people and things; but the Substance from which things are formed, is Changeless.
