Excerpt from The Herald of the Cross, Vol. 1: September, 1905The origin of evil was not in disobedience on the part of the human race, but on the part of the Planet-soul. The evil which overtook the race was the consequence of that Fall. For had there been no material kingdoms on the Planet, its children would never have been able to assume material forms. In the day of their Fall they saw other forms of life in fixed conditions, and so were the more easily persuaded that it was the right thing to do. For by that time the Planet-soul had peopled the vegetable world, which in its true state is always spiritual, with many forms of a semi-fixed character, and the evil spirits had added to these many forms of an evil nature, full of their own poison and they had perverted the human kingdom of the Planet by creating forms which were entirely foreign to the nature of the Planet, and thus introducing a king dom which was not in the order of Divine Creation-via, the Animal world. By doing this they perverted the spiritual essences of the Planet-soulout of which the Elohim had created the various spiritual kingdoms. And by the creation of these animal forms, they prepared the way for the degradation of the human soul. For whilst the animal kingdom was foreign to the purpose of the Elohim, it was in the plan of the materialising spirits who thus purposed to ensnare and make captive the whole of the Planet's children. So that the creation of so many strange forms full of still stranger feelings and habits, is thus explained, and seen to be other than of Divine origin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
