(Q) Now to return to the manuscript and the mind that is
breaking up into the words that compose the manuscript.
(A) The manuscript [is] developing in that manner and way
as has been given, and as the body-conscious mind gains the
fuller concept of those truths as respecting life and its
purpose, as respecting creation and its continuation in and
before men, this interpretation through same by the entity
(through manuscript, see?) will be given more and more,
bringing better and better an understanding to many. In that
phase of the Creative Energy as is to be presented - now in
the next phase, when Clem enters that stage of the physical
condition wherein the Universal Forces are opened for the
physical conscious mind to view, these may be well to follow
in their order. In the beginning there is seen that that
Creative Energy, taking all things in that collective and
individual mass, bringing through that action of energy in
creative force on same, in the nature of each element's
relation one to another in same, and in individuality,
bringing all then to that point of its returnability, as it
were, through the action of Spirit Energy in same, to its
various forms, and in the creative force as manifest in man's
appearance, that representative of the Godhead made manifest
in this earth or material plane, with the abilities of the
Whole, as is yet given existence, and with that added portion
of God to become One with that whole mass, then we find how
man becomes the one given that charge, "Be fruitful,
multiply," SUBDUE the earth - giving then to man that of the
representative force in material plane of the representative
of the Godhead or Creative Energy, with that ability to
control same through that same force in which first Creative
Energy given, plus the will's force manifest in material
basis, for the combination of these masses, in group and in
individual form, to create in a manifested form and manner.
In the error comes that that man's will became that to supply
the desire of flesh, rather than the will of that Creative
Energy. Hence the builded forces as begun to be
misunderstood, mis-interpreted, as to the purposes in life
- being builded, then, in both the concrete and the absent
forms in life. Present this, see? for we then find how,
through this same law for it is law, with its various
presentations in the combinations of atom or of vibratory
force, or of gaseous force, or the SPIRIT element as guides
either. Becoming, then, the heterogeneous and the NEGATIVE
forces in same, bringing both to that element of how that in
the Creative Energy, MIND the Builder, see?
(Q) Will you give us, then, first, a definition of
evolution, in a few words, such as Spencer gave in 1872,
and such as [
900] is struggling to give in this year?
(A) The conditions present themselves to the mind that views
this as given, in this manner. Then, evolution, that form of
the various conditions as combine themselves from the various
forces as are manifest in the material plane into that
ability of the combination of the various forms from one mass
to another, in the various kingdoms of that force first given
off by the first mind energy, or the All Creative Force, or
the changing from the heterogeneous forces to that of the
ELEMENTAL forces, with its abilities to create within that as
it propagates from one to another, see?
(Q) A certain kind or developed creative energy manifests
in the heterogeneous integrated phase as matter, and another
kind, of the same principle, manifests as animal.
(A) Correct, see? for just as the divisions as has been
given, and as has been shown, how that when any energy that
creates one force is brought to-gether in that same force,
the same force or energy is created, whether animal, whether
vegetable, whether mineral, or what not. Each being a phase
of that first Creative Energy, with man the highest
representative of that Energy manifest in the material or
earth plane.
(Q) Explain the development or evolutionary process in
the first principle by which that kind of principle is
concentrated to invert itself into matter, and another kind
stored to become integrated into instinct, or animal, and
lastly the same process manifesting another kind of creative
activity, as man.
(A) This may only be done through the mind turning self to
an introspective condition, and first ASSUMING conditions
exist, for the finite mind to gain this conception, see? for
we have an energy - or, as has been given, we have a flesh of
birds, of beast, of one energy, of one nature, one of another
- each propagating, as has been set forth from the first -
yet we come back to the first same principle: What created
the first energy, or what IS the Creative Energy, or God?
Then, we do not set that energy as a super man, more than
the energy of heat, rather than that of animal or of tissue,
or of any element, [is] able to create or propagate itself
for each has INNATE within, from the first concept, that
ability of creative forces, see?
(Q) Then, the intellect, as Bergsen says, must do a hand
spring and transcend itself to find the essence of its own
self.
(A) Must turn itself inside out, as it were, see? for it
must become introspective, rather than outro [outer?] or
extrospective [extroversive], see?
(Q) But this principle, in the first two degrees - matter
and animal - is constantly repeating its integrating and
disintegrating process. In man similarly, yet how does
this process prove exceptional to that phase of man, or that
entity of creative force that does NOT repeat this activity?
(A) For man [was] given that ability, with will, to become
One with the Creative Energy, made a little higher than the
other energies, yet combining all, see?
We are through for the present.
