Reincarnation

<p>To every awakened soul the question comes:</p><p> </p><p>Why does evil exist?</p><p> </p><p>So long as the enigma remains unsolved Suffering remains a threatening sphinx opposing God and ready to devour mankind.</p><p> </p><p>The key to the secret lies in Evolution which can be accomplished only by means of the continual return of souls to earth.</p><p> </p><p>When once man learns that suffering is the necessary result of divine manifestation; that inequalities of conditions are due to the different stages which beings have reached and the changeable action of their will; that the painful phase lasts only a moment in Eternity and that we have it in our power to hasten its disappearance; that though slaves of the past we are masters of the future; that finally the same glorious goal awaits all beings then despair will be at an end; hatred envy and rebellion will have fled away and peace will reign over a humanity made wise by knowledge.</p><p> </p><p>Were this modest work to hasten forward this time by a few years we should feel sufficiently rewarded.</p><p> </p><p>The subject will be divided into four chapters:</p><p> </p><p>(1) The Soul and the bodies.</p><p> </p><p>(2) Reincarnation and the moral law.</p><p> </p><p>(3) Reincarnation and science.</p><p> </p><p>(4) Reincarnation and the religious and philosophical concensus of the ages.</p><p> </p>
