Excerpt from The Ignavus

When the higher predominate in the association, 831 actly the reverse takes place. Under these conditions mat ter is refined and the expression of the higher principles, given a perfection, which spiritualizes the manifestation. There is but one perfect idea, underlying the whole of mani testation and the perfection in which it is expressed in mat ter is dependent entirely upon the relative proportions of. The material and Spiritual in the medium. The relative propor~tions of these two fundamental principles determines the quality of the manifester. The more material, the lower and baser the quality; the more Spiritual the higher and more noble the quality.

The lower octaves of being are grossly material but a we ascend toward the higher octaves, the crud-ity of the material man takes form, more and more.

Increased spirituality gradually replaces imperfection with perfection, as the dawn dissolves the shades of night, until at last the spiritual man like the morning sun breaks forth in all his glory to rule and govern the new day, In the words of the New Testament, Sown in corrup tion it is raised in incorruption. Sown in dishonor it is raised in glory. Sown in weakness it IS raised in power. Sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body. The. First man, Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam quickening spirit. Howbeit that was net first which is Spiri tual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
