Excerpt from The Temple of the Rosy Cross, the Soul: Its Powers, Migration, and Transmigrations To provoke thought, and thus lift the world out of the rut into which it has fallen, the following pages have been written. The soul is no common or vulgar thing; and all approximation thereto, in thought, must be transcendental. This work claims to contain the fundamental principles of all religions - the Philosophy Of Manhood, and the road leading to a True Life and Immortality, Here, on this poor, much abused earth. "This is a matter-of-fact age," and "the day of miracles has passed." That is, those things which unaccountably happen, which were formerly ascribed to God, have come a little nearer home, and are now ascribed to Nature. What satisfaction there is in a name, especially to children! The superstition of the past, and of the stars, narrowed down to that of "the ape" and "the mud!" Instead of the facts of observation, I have attempted those of logic and common sense. Darwin and Huxley have narrowed the mind down to a contemplation of the mud "protoplasm," but I call you to a contemplation of man and his possibilities. I came, and found this beautiful earth fanned by the breath of deadly poison, which men, in the very agony of breathing, call life. I go; but in going, I would leave it a little purer for having been here. I am satisfied that man is the architect of himself, and of all conditions, from "protoplasm" up; and it has been my effort to stir him upward to the creation of things worthy of himself.

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI. THE SOUL. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." --bible. I have already defined the soul as a vacuum, and herein appears the impossibility of it. The sublime and the ridiculous are so closely united that sometimes one is taken for the other. Modern philosophy, backed by science, says there are no vacuums; that "nature abhors vacuums "-- thus virtually admitting their existence; for how can nature abhor that which has no existence? It is not possible to conceive of a thing which has no foundation or existence. The supernatural is denied also, and that shows the weakness and nakedness of philosophy. The soul is supernatural, and it is a vacuum; but it is not given to ordinary minds to comprehend this. How can the natural mind believe in that which nature abhors? We instinctively try to destroy that which we abhor, and the mind that rejects a proposition is at variance therewith, and its thought is that of destruction. No man can conceive of the supernatural, except he have a something in himself in harmony with the idea. The soul is a vacuum--it is supernatural, because nature cannot destroy it; and that which is hidden is always superior to that which is visible. Soul corresponds to the feminine principle in nature, but this correspondence does not make a natural thing of it at all. It is not a thing, but that which gives birth to things. Attraction it: the feminine of nature, but this is not the soul, but that which the soul produces as a governing law in nature. In nature, things are moved by Contact and by Impact. Operations by contact are always downward. We cannot operate upwards, save as we receive that which is superior from above by impact. This is the way of the spirit. Spirit is Natural, Unnatural, Terrine, and...

Excerpt from The Temple of the Rosy Cross: The Soul, Its Power, Migrations, and Transmigrations In this matter-of-fact age the existence of god is seriously qgestioned by the greatest thinkers. The reason is Obviously in the definitions which the religious world more especially the Christian - gives to the term. The very nature of reason precludes the/idea of the existence of a 't/zzzzg above, separate and apart from the relation! Ship of things. Reason cannot transcend its own source. That which is seen and known as nature - it being an in finitude of objects and phenomena - is considered as sufficient. _and to-rease - n-and observation It does seem so. But if we undertake an analysis of this thing we call naturb, we shall find it fully as remarkable and as con tradictory as to suppose a Supreme Being as its maker. The antipathies of things show home source. There seems, even to broad and deep reason, two principles at war with each other; equally so to the fool they appear. One cannot be the cause of the other - nor can they be self-adjusting and regulating. Why? Because to us: not even to our reason -no t/zz'zzg is self-existent nor self supporting. Everything in existence is dependent upon something else. If there is an exception to this, it cannitions are a necessity of all growth.
