Why did creative Fate give to spirit man a soul that he might function on the plane of soul?
"Why did creative Fate give to soul a body of the flesh that it might function on the plane of things that are made manifest?
"Hear, now, ye worlds, dominions, powers and thrones!
"Hear, now, ye cherubim, ye seraphim, ye angels and ye men!
"Hear, now, O protoplast, and earth, and plant and beast!
"Hear, now, ye creeping things of earth, ye fish that swim, ye birds that fly!
"Hear, now, ye winds that blow, ye thunders and ye lightnings of the sky!
"Hear, now, ye spirits of the fire, of water, earth, and air!
"Hear, now, O everything that is, or was, or evermore will be, for Wisdom speaks from out of the highest plane of spirit life:
"Man is a thought of Allah; all thoughts of Allah are infinite; they are not measured up by time, for things that are concerned with time begin and end.
"The thoughts of Allah are from the everlasting of the past unto the never ending days to come--And so is man, the Spirit-man.
"But man, like every other thought of Allah, was but a seed, a seed that held within itself the potencies of Allah, just as the seed of any plant of earth holds deep within itself the attributes of every part of that especial plant.
"So spirit-man, as seed of Allah, held deep within himself the attributes of every part of Allah.
"Now, seeds are perfect, yea, as perfect as the source from which they come; but they are not unfolded into life made manifest.
"The child is as perfect as the mother is.
"So man, the seed, must be deep planted in a soil that he might grow, unfold, as does the bud unfold to show the flower.
"The human seed that came forth from the heart of Allah was full ordained to be the lord of plane of soul, and of the plane of things made manifest.
"So Allah, the husbandman of every thing that is, threw forth this human seed into the soil of soul; it grew apace, and man became a living soul; and he became the lord of all the kingdom of the soul.
"Hark, now, let every creature hear, The plane of soul is but the ether of the spirit plane vibrating not so fast, and in the slower rhythm of this plane the essences of life are manifest; the
perfumes and odors, the true sensations and the all of love are manifest.
"And these soul attributes become a body beautiful.
"A multitude of lessons man must learn upon the plane of soul; and here he tarries many ages until his lessons are all learned.
"Upon the boundary of the plane of soul the ether began to vibrate slower still, and then the essences took on a garb; the perfumes and the odors and the true sensations and the all of love
were clothed in flesh; and man was clothed in flesh.
"Perfected man must pass through all the ways of life, and so a carnal nature was full manifest, a nature that sprang forth from fleshly things.
"Without a foe a soldier never knows his strength, and thought must be developed by the exercise of strength.
"And so this carnal nature soon became a foe that man must fight, that he might be the strength of Allah made manifest.
"Let every living thing stand still and hear!
"Man is the Lord of all the plane of manifests; of protoplast, of mineral, of plant, of beast; but he has given up his birthright, just to gratify his lower self, his carnal self.
"But man will full regain his lost estate, his heritage; but he must do it in a conflict that cannot be told in words.
"Yea, he must suffer trials and temptations manifold; but let him know that cherubim and seraphim that rule the stations of the sun, and spirits of the mighty Allah who rule the solar stars are his protectors and his guides, and they will lead to victory.
"Man will be fully saved, redeemed, perfected by the things he suffers on the plane of flesh, and on the plane of soul.
"When man has conquered carnal things his garb of flesh will then have served its purpose well and it will fall, will be no more.
"Then he will stand untrammeled on the plane of soul where he must full complete his victories.
"Unnumbered foes will stand before the man upon the plane of soul; there he must overcome, yea, overcome them every one.
"Thus hope will ever be his beacon light; there is no failure for the human soul, for Allah is leading on and victory is sure.
"Man cannot die; the spirit-man is one with Allah, and while Allah lives man cannot die.
"When man has conquered every foe upon the plane of soul the seed will have full opened out, will have unfolded in the Holy Breath.
"The garb of soul will then have served its purpose well, and man will need it never more, and it will pass and be no more.
"And man will then attain unto the blessedness of perfectness and be at one with Allah."
