When the soul first separates into its two component parts, and one of these enters the physical body, the other part remains a mere soul, invisible but having an existence and it hovers close to the earth plane seeking the opportunity to also incarnate and become individualized; and this happens within a short time after the separation from the soul that has already incarnated. Of course, a short time does not necessarily mean a few months or even a few years because sometimes there is a space of several scores of years between the two incarnations.

The soul which remains as well as the soul that enters the human body loses its consciousness of having been a part only of one complete soul and of its relationship to the other part of that soul and needs no other soul to make it complete. This is a provision of the Father's goodness so that the soul that continues in its pristine existence will not become lonely or unhappy.

Very often the spirits see the birth of the two parts of the souls into mortals and know that such souls then for the first time, assumes a shape and form. For the invisible image of God fills the whole of the spirit body and from that body assumes or receives its form and thereby becomes individualized. The soul is the life of the spirit body and never leaves it during the physical body and remains a part of it during all the time of the existence of the mortal and comes with it at the death of the physical body and remains a part of it during all the time of the existence of the spirit body in the Spirit World.

The doctrine of evolution is to an extent correct but not as commencing from an atom or from an animal inferior to man. Back of and greater than this doctrine of evolution is the great and more divine doctrine and involution; for if the soul had come from above and been placed in the physical man, there would never have been any evolution. If the soul had never received its individualized existence by coming into the body of the human, it would never have evolved to the divine nature as well as to the individualized being that follows that incarnation

When the physical body is created it has no consciousness of its having been created for it is merely of the unconscious creations that are of the other material creatures of nature and does not feel or sense in any degree the fact that it is a living thing dependent upon the proper nourishment of its mother for its growth and continued life in accordance with the laws of nature and objects of its own creation. The father and mother being necessary to the creation or formation of this merely animal production, know only that in some way there has come into existence an embryo thing that may eventuate into a human being like unto themselves.

If this thing were allowed to remain without the soul it would soon fail to fulfill the object of its creation and disintegrate into the elements of which it is formed and mankind would cease to exist as inhabitants of the earth. This physical part of man is really and only the result of the co-mingling of those forces that are contained in the two sexes, which according to the laws of nature or of man's creation, are suited to produce the one body fitted for the home of the soul that may be attracted to it to develop its individuality for life and possible immortality.

The result of this commingling is intended only as a temporary covering or protection for the growth of the real being and does not in any way limit or influence the continuous existence of the soul. And when its functions have ended, the soul, which has then become individualized, continues its life in new surroundings and in gradual progression and the mere instrument used for its individualization is disseminated into the elements forming its appearance and substance. As this body was culled from the elements for a certain purpose, when that purpose shall have been served, it returns to these elements.

This body, of itself, has neither consciousness nor sensation and in the beginning has only the borrowed life of its parents and then when the soul finds its lodgment, it has only the life of the soul. For the human life can exist only so long as the soul inhabits the body, and after such habitation commences, the borrowed life of the parents ceases to exercise any influence or directing force on the body. This then is really the true description of the physical body and if it were all of man he would perish with its death and cease to exist as a part of the creation of the Universe of God.

But the soul it the vital, living and never dying part of man. Is really the man and the only thing that was intended to continue an existence in the Spirit World. It was made in the image of God and there is no reason for it existing for the continuing companionship of the physical body, and when men say or believe that the body is all of man and when it dies man ceases to exist, they do not understand the relationship or functioning of soul and body, and know only the half truth, which is visible to their senses, that the body dies and can never again be resuscitate. This is a determined fact and all arguments by analogy, to show that man must continue to live, notwithstanding the death of that body, are not apposite and very inconclusive. All these analogous appearances only show that the objects are eternal just as much as if there had never been any change in their condition or appearance. The final demonstration is that they die, and when this analogy is applied to man, it must show that he dies also and is no more.
