Book Description
Excerpt from The Way to Life and Immortality: A Text-Book on the New Life That Shall Lead Man From Weakness, Disease, and Death, to Freedom From These Things I lived in an age of strife. All around me were men of ill-temper and ill-will. They fought one against the other, class against class. Even the children took part in the strife and knew no other life than the life of strife. They were ill-shapen and miserable. There was no light shining from their eyes. The women were in the background, natural prey to the life of strife; for men had no love for each other. Even in the midst of clans there was no love the one for the other, and they fought their supposed enemies not because they loved their fellows more, but because they hated their enemies more bitterly. And out of the midst of the confusion came a Voice to me and bade me look. In the heavens as in a cloud of fire there appeared unto me a vision of two divinely perfect beings. Their bodies were glorious, and as of shining ivory which had life. Out of the eyes looked the Soul of Love. Male and female were they, perfect in soul and in body; for the body showed perfect, and out of the eyes shone the perfect soul. And as I looked, behold, at their feet appeared children, as perfect as were the other two. It was a vision of Light and Fire, glorious and divine. But as I gazed, there appeared other full-grown men and women round about them; and in a circle round about them I saw other children and all of them were perfect. There was no mark of disease, no misery, no hate. All was perfection, there was happiness and love, strife had given way. As I gazed upon the glorious vision, a Voice spake unto me: "This is the new heaven and the new earth, the two become one. and I, thy God, shall be with thee."
