Excerpt from The Disobedient Child of God This is called a Philosophy of Life insofar as a man or woman that thinks must naturally form some general idea of life from its varied experiences and vicissitudes, termed Philosophy. Physically speaking, man is the highest form of animal life on earth, while spiritually taken, he also is the highest form of intellectual life on earth, for all through creation we notice these two main elements in nature (spirit and matter) distinct and separate, yet closely linked and interwoven with each other to express life and form organization, or living organism. While one element is just as important as the other in the phenomena of life, the spiritual element is the more important, in that it is the inner or main spring of life the sentimental, emotional part of nature and man, the cause and design of organization, the why and wherefore of being, and beginning and ultimate end of organism, while the material element is the form that it is clothed in, or the shape and outer covering and manifestation of the inner life, and is subject outwardly to changes that are taking place forever and continually inwardly. But let us not forget that both elements are subject to the immutable and unchangeable laws of nature, caused by natures originator the First Great Cause and Giver of Laws, which we call God. While this, then, is mainly a philosophy of life, I have given it the title and called it The Disobedient Child of God because of the fact that, like Adam and Eve, our first parents spoken of in the Bible, showed disobedience to God by eating of the forbidden fruit of the tree of good and evil, and thereby lost a paradise forever, so man has ever after been disobedient in not learning the higher wisdom from God and he is forever despoiling a world of beauty and love through selfishness and ignorance, and must forever continue eating from the tree of good and evil to attain that knowledge and wisdom through bitter disappointment and experience that will or may eventually open his eyes and make him see his own shortcomings and imperfections and learn the lessons which will redeem him and by which he can make this world a better world to live in a world of peace and beauty and love instead of a world of horror and strife which he has made it through his own ignorance, obstinacy and folly to accept the truth.
