Insights and Heresies Pertaining to the Evolution of the Soul
Ammyeetis
Spiritual life -- Miscellanea
"Jacob's dream" was not a dream only. It was a reality. From supernal
heights "Ladders" are ever being dropped down to our earth, into our
midst, upon which forms immortal and real "ascend and descend"
according to our need and our demand upon them for love and help.
We are continually overshadowed by this supermundane existence. Its
influences are both positive and negative, good and evil. It has
powers adapted to every issue of human experience; because it is the
outgrowth, the fruitage of human life. Its roots are planted in this
earth. Its topmost branches wave in the sunlight which flows from the
"Throne of God." It is God. Not a separate and distinct being; but an
intelligent principle of love abounding in everything; expressing
itself through everything. Knowing no "high" or "low." Seeing no
difference between the "just and the unjust"; showering down upon all
alike, benisons of wisdom, and peace and good will.
Gathering all together in one embrace; the whole race of man, one
undivided family. Its divine "Trinity" is Evolution, Progress,
Liberty. Many minds reject this assumption of facts, because of the
necessity which a recognition of them would involve for a readjustment
of mental processes, and religious beliefs affecting their daily
experience.
HEAVEN.
Millions of enfranchised souls pass from earth life and find the spirit
world--the "Summerland"--a Heaven, and stay therein for vast lengths of
time. The change from this life of toil, and misery to an existence of
rest from all pain and sorrow of earthly existence is really Heaven
enough for the average human mind. A place of beautiful surroundings,
where everything necessary for their comfort is furnished them, without
money and without price and, best of all, where they no longer fear
being grabbed up and punished by the devil for their sins of ignorance
committed when in the body. It is not possible for us, plunged, as we
all are, into the vortex of this difficult existence, to realize what
all this means to the world-weary. If one shall halt by the way, or
fall aside from the great unending procession nothing stops. The
terrible, tumultuous waves of humanity roll on, and the lost are not
missed or mourned for, save by the few that were responsible for their
coming, or for the awful lack of help and tendance that made them
failures in the battle of life.
