1Each spirit Ego sends forth its soul monad with its just share of its Divine patrimony, when it obeys the universal law of attraction to matter. With this fair equipment it begins its eternal round of being from a limitless state within the universe of external manifestation; and like everything else endowed with life, it attracts and repels, and in any state, it can only do the best it can. Its best is, when its own inherent force is dominant; its worst is, when it is weak by reaction. Its life at any point is only a mere transitory condition, a mere moment in the web of its eternal existence. At every stage it loses or gains something, and the sum total of such gain and loss comprises its Human possibilities, when it becomes incarnated as man, and constitutes his need for expression; be that expression what it may. But in assuming the responsibility of a Human soul, the monad must take its chances; so to say, regarding its environment before and after birth. It will be brought into the light of the intellectual day by powers over which it has no control; viz., Polarity; natural attraction and replusion of its Spiritual State of development.

2in the spiritual world; because they are unreal, temporary, man made. The eternal verities only have power. The polarity is that which attracts it to the mother’s womb; its Spiritual state determines its mental capacity; and these two, Polarity and Spiritual Degree of life; acting in harmony or conflict with its material environment, produce everything we know of life; and to these must be added another factor, an unknown quantity, the inherited tendencies or real qualities of the parents, to warp or expand the young soul. Some people are more animal than human and should not be parents. Some are dwarfed below their normal state, some are expanded beyond their real merits. Human destiny begins its harvest, only in this life; and as life becomes more advanced, so will destiny.
3Today, we are forging the environment and fate of the millions of souls of the unborn generations to come. Fate can only act when conditions are ripe, remove vice and crime from the earth, and human destiny is powerless to reproduce them. Remove riches, poverty, drink, social rank, and disease, by just laws, moral education and pure living; and fate can not reproduce them. In this higher condition of man, destiny will act upon some thing higher than disease, poverty and crime. There are other things in the gamut of life, for there will be discord of some nature, and hereby destiny will become manifest. Where man WILLS, the fates themselves are powerless; but it must be the Will of Universal not Individual man. Each soul is and ever must be the arbiter of its own destiny, and whatever our fate here, in this our earthly environment, WE have WILLED it so. We, without knowing it, have given the Nod of Jove to every great crisis in our lives; for every crime; for every grace; and we alone, must be the judge, and bear the judgment too. Only be sure that you attain the one vital reason for you being here upon earth; be sure that you gain the crown of Conscious life; for this also rests upon the same laws as destiny; it is NOT certain, unless WE MAKE IT SO; for “many come but few are chosen”, and those, whose names are written in the Book of Life, can in no wise remove the self inflicted curse from those whose names are not, therein.
