"Male and female created he them." This being true, male and female must they return to the source from which they sprung, completing the circle, and gaining what? _Consciousness of godhood; of completeness in counterpartal union. Not absorption_ of consciousness, but _union_, which is quite a different idea. Out of this counterpartal union a race of gods will be born, and these _supermen_, shall "inherit the earth" making it a "fit dwelling place for the gods." This earth is now being made fit. This fact may seem a far distant hope if we do not judge with the eyes of the seer, but its proof lies in the emancipation of woman. Its evidences are many and varied, but the awakening of woman is the _cause_. This awakening of woman constitutes the first rays of the dawn--that long-looked for Millenium, which many of us have regarded as a mere figure of speech, instead of as a literal truth. The argument is not that there has been no individual awakening until the present time; but that never before in the finite history of the world has there been such a general awakening, and as it is self evident that conditions will reflect the idea of the majority, the fact that woman is being given her rightful place in the sense-conscious life, proves that the earth will be a fit dwelling place for a higher order of beings than have hitherto constituted the majority. The numerous instances of Illumination, or cosmic consciousness which are forcing attention at the present time, prove that there is a _race-awakening_ to a realization of our unity with Om. Another point which we trust these pages will make clear is this: So-called "revelation" is neither a personal "discovery," nor any special act of a divine power. "God spake thus and so to me," is a phrase which the self-conscious initiate employs, _because he has lost sight of the_ cosmic light, or because he finds it expedient to use that phraseology in delivering the message of cosmic consciousness. If we will substitute the term "_initiation_," for the term "_revelation_," we will have a clearer idea of the truth. Perhaps some of our readers will feel that the terms mean the same, but for the most part, those who have employed the word "revelation," have used it as implying that the plan of the cosmos was unfinished, and that the Creator, having found some person suitable to convey the latest decision to mankind, natural laws had been suspended and the revelation made. It is to correct this view, that we emphasize the distinction between the two words. The cosmos is complete. "As it was in the beginning, it is now and ever shall be, worlds without end." A circle is without beginning or end. We, in our individual consciousness may traverse this circle, but our failure to realize its completeness does not change the fact that it is finished. We can not add to the universal consciousness; nor take away therefrom.
