Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Forms of Religion: As Seen in the Light of the Methods of Christ and of the Spirit, by Following the Divine Order of the Development The study of "The Divine Order of Development," as seen from Mount Clear, leads onward to the consideration of Religion as viewed from the Walls of the City of God. These are mystical forms of thought that require to he used for the purpose of discovering the way by which Science is guiding men toward the land of Divine Wisdom. They are forms to be used, and if they are useful for the end desired they are not to be despised as means of Grace, in bringing to men the Light of Divine Truth. In the mystic light of Science it is seen that there are four great divisions of revealed truth; these being Forms; Concepts, or Ideas; Ideals, or General Principles; and what is Real, or true, as pure Science. These may be expressed in many ways; they are as the Physical, the Psychical, the Empiric, and the Scientific; or in spiritual order. Faith, Hope, Patience and Love. What this means is that there is a law of development in the realm of Knowledge, and this is the order to be followed. In the light of this truth the question may be asked. What is the problem studied by sages in past ages, and by thoughtful wise men to-day? It is this: If the Universe is a cosmos of order and law, of unity and harmony, then why do such diversities, apparent disorders, disease, and death exist? The reply that is coming from the lips of Science may be expressed thus: Find the right way of thought, discover the order that exists, and conceive the laws; because it is only thus that harmony, unity, and Divine Wisdom will be found. The problem is Man; his development, condition, environment and destiny. As suggestion? for those who wish to study this subject the order of thought may be expressed thus: (1) The Man as Form; (2) The Man as found in concepts and ideas; (3) The Ideal Man; (4) The Man as mystical and spiritual in the Kingdom of God. The Man, is the Revelation, that is the Consummation, of Creation, as found in Genesis. That story is spiritual; it is - unity; and it is in harmony with Science; the Glory of God can be seen in Man. The Man, abiding in order, law and love, would, in due time, reach the land of Science and Divine Wisdom. There is no clearer proof of the Fall of Man, of sin, than this; the man is lost, degraded, and sinful. The problem is changed; the ideal Form is lost; therefore, the question is that of Regeneration, Salvation, Redemption and Restoration. This is the theme of the Bible; it is dualism; good and evil; Cain and Abel; Esau and Jacob; Adam and Christ. It is the Tee of Good and Evil, in this form, and under these concepts and ideas. The Adam, Esau, earthly race develops evil continually all through history. This is true of good and evil and its fruits; it is the natural tree, and yet it is a tree that is growing in the Garden of the Lord, and its environment, atmosphere, and sources of life, are found in Grace, Faith and the life of the Spirit.
