Others are old enough (spiritually speaking) to know the truth
_i.e._--that GOD is in _all_, of an infinite series of spheres, through
which each travelling soul must pass, gaining ever fresh light, growing
ever into fresh knowledge and realisation of Divine Beauty and Divine
Love; spheres differing little externally from the one left behind, but
enormously in the capacities and qualities which by degrees the soul
will unfold in the Cosmic Journey.
The outer will become more and more the result of the inner condition;
for the creative faculty, scarcely born with you, flourishes in the
ascending spiral. Down here you are babes, with your clothes made for
you, your bottles filled for you, and dependent on others for the
conditions of life, but by degrees you will enter on the full
responsibility and the full joy and glory of independent existence,
which yet will be unified--first into the life of the Affinities--the
True and completed Being--and then into the life of that Body of
_Christ_, of which St Paul speaks in his prophetic moments, where "there
shall be neither Greek nor Jew, Barbarian, Scythian, Bond nor Free," but
_Christos_, the glorified and crowned Humanity, shall be all in all--GOD
IN MAN; the coping-stone of the Building, whose foundations were laid as
MAN (the Image and Likeness of God) IN GOD.
