V. THE ORIGIN OF THE SOUL
—
SUMMING up: If all our life is from God, it is evident that the life existing in and manifesting itself through the human soul is life derived from God the Creator, and as we have also seen, the soul-form is only the receptacle of this life. With this idea in mind, let us make another diagram representing the various planes of life and its manifestation from the original source in God down to its lowest manifestation in the outward bodily form of man:
