“If the course of all worlds as well as the course of their inhabitants, is from the grosser to the finer, then the inevitable conclusion is that the sun, our parent world, must be a planet in a state of development so far beyond, so much more spiritualized than our world, that its light is [...]

the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter vi (other worlds than ours)
“We believe it is generally accepted that light is due to a certain speed of electric vibrations. We have been led to say that light is life in motion, and light on one plane of existence is darkness to another. For instance, we have animals and birds on our planet at the present time that [...]

“There is a marked difference between the organisms of the lower races and the organisms of the higher; and we know too that there is a marked difference in the light that shines from the face of one of a highly intellectual organism - especially when the mind is clear and active and everything in [...]

“No doubt the present theory - that the sun is an incandescent mass, because the solar rays on striking the earth generate heat - is destined soon to be superceded by one more worthy of the intelligence of our day. Professor Proctor says: "We know that the sun is the sole source whence light and [...]

“Astronomers, in their investigation of the solar system, perceive that the larger planets lying beyond our own are less dense, and to a certain degree, self-luminous, and they inquire, "Is it Possible for life to exist upon these worlds?" Such a question can be answered only by logical deduction. The best intellects will say, "If [...]

“A subject of so vast proportions as the title of this chapter indicates, naturally suggests exhaustive study of the investigations of scientists, ancient and modern; but for the sake of brevity, and because the conclusions of ancient philosophy are not accepted in our time, we omit its consideration and confine ourselves to an examination of [...]
the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter v (evolution)
“We think, form conclusions, and when the conclusions are reached, we express them in words and acts. When we say that we express them, we mean that there goes out from us the thought-form. In like manner, when, in connection with the other creative words, the Elohim said, "Let us make man", the thought was [...]
the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter v (evolution)
“We find that the civilization of the present age has reached a point where science and mechanics have obliterated space, and, in a sense, time. The whole world, the ancient and the modern, is rapidly being spread before the public gaze, and our race of today is eagerly gathering all the grains of wheat, the [...]
the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter v (evolution)
“There are many difficulties in the way of the universal acceptance of evolution as an established fact, as an obvious law of nature; and, at the foundation of these difficulties, is the Christian belief, which underlies our civilization. The Christian world has believed it to be a literal fact that in six days God created [...]
the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter iv (conscience)
“Now bear in mind the following: Appetites and passions create desires; by means of the reasoning faculties, desires create beliefs of which the soul-consciousness, the divine-life within, makes a law, the law of the individual life. This law is the religious faith, and when it is established, the conscience justifies everything in accordance with it [...]
