“In bringing before your minds this wonderful ultimate of the purpose of God in the creation of the world and of its inhabitants, man, the most that we can do is to call your attention to certain laws and forces already visible and active among men. This ultimate has had no physical standing in the [...]

“By virtue of the foregoing conditions brought about by being born of the Spirit, men are to be drawn together by one common impulse, to unite in one organic structure, a structure which was revealed in the symbology of the temple of God, the cubical city. Herein is found the great truth referred to by [...]

“Science, as we have shown, is already meeting Revelation by showing evidences that all material things are, after all, spiritual substance, or at least that they are not material. In this process the individual who has been begotten from above, is transformed from a mere physical consciousness to a consciousness of God, his Father, a [...]

But to quote from Robertson's Sermon's: “All high truth is the union of two contradictories. Thus, predestination and free-will are opposites; and the truth [...]

“All nature, wherever the mind turns, is in action, and the higher the realm the more intense is the action. Love is the action of life, or life in motion, and “God is love”, and God's love links him with all his creation. There can be no evolution without involution – that which is involved, [...]

“We have seen in former chapters that the Elohim consist of mature souls that have come into the form of the heavenly temple, an organized Body of perfected souls which most assuredly consists of both men and women; for, as the apostle says, “neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the [...]
