the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter vi (other worlds than ours)
“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 [...]

“Man is the mind-center of the planet, and his body is one with the earth elements, joined to them by the mental currents that formed all things. Therefore, as the bodies of the race have become diseased through perversion, disease and disturbance have entered also into the very life-currents of the earth. And we may [...]

“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 [...]

“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.

“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 [...]

“This selfhood, this consciousness that is conscious without the effort of thinking, this something that is the man, that thinks without his volition, this vital-principle, we must admit, has been derived from the creative-forces. If this is true and if God is the Cause and Source of creation, then it is derived directly from God, [...]

"There are a people among us denominated Spiritualists. The major part of these people is the legitimate outcome of religious devotion on the part of their parents. Spiritualistic mediums are such by organic structure, which leads them to open up their life-centers to the psychic currents around them. In order to be mediums, they must [...]
the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter iii (reason and religion)
“Apparently, two sets of factors come into action to produce this diversity of mind and consciousness: First, the quality of life from which the thought is formed; second, the beliefs of the person. But, in reality, the quality of life, that is, the character of the consciousness—or vital-thought just defined—is determined by the beliefs of [...]
