These pages are intended to present, as concisely as possible, an outline of certain phenomena in nature, and soul and spirit together with logical and philosophical deductions from it, which go to prove, first, the existence of a soul, and, second, and the repeated incarnation of this soul in physical bodies.Recognizing that the finite can never contain nor comprehend the Infinite, and that behind all finite manifestation there is necessarily an Infinite, Conscious Mind, upon which speculation, for the reason just given, is useless, still, the Aspects of this Conscious Mind, as manifested in Time and Space, are legitimate subject for examination, and afford a stable, and indeed the only, basis upon which infinite intellect can construct a Philosophy of Life and of the Universe.There are three Aspects of that which may be termed the Absolute, or Causeless Cause, which are immutably associated in all finite or conditioned existence appear to be a common crux into which all phenomena may be resolved. Although two of these are at apparently opposite poles of Being, while the third would seem to have no necessarily real connection with either, yet there is no manifestation in which all three are not associated in some degree, so that it becomes evident that we perceive in them but differing facets or Aspects of the One Reality. To our perception, these three Aspects appear as Consciousness, Substance, and Motion, and from the standpoint of the recognition, not only of all three but of their eternal association with one another in the Manifested Universe, and with the Causeless Cause in the Unmanifested, this Study of the Soul will proceed.The term "Soul" may be defined as a vehicle for consciousness.The latter, as one of the triple aspects of the Unknowable or Absolute, must be regarded as Infinite. Anything which, by limiting this Infinity, enables consciousness to manifest upon finite and knowable planes is therefore classed as Soul. The Universal Soul, under this definition, would be the vehicle for Universal not Absolute Consciousness; the human soul, the vehicle for the finite manifestation of that limitation of the Infinite which we recognize as human, or self-consciousness.The material aspect of the Unknowable seems to be the means by which Infinite Consciousness is enabled to manifest finitely.Hence, all Soul has its ultimate essence in this material or Substance-root of the Unknowable, and is of a material nature. But as the three Aspect-Roots are eternally associated, one must not fall into the error of taking a too materialistic view of Soul. If it is the material vehicle of consciousness in one aspect, it is in another by virtue of its being incapable of dissociation from this consciousness itself. It is only because of philosophic necessities and of certain phenomena of consciousness upon the material plane that Soul is thus more intimately associated with the Substance-Aspect of the Unknowable Rootless Root than with the Conscious-Aspect.A human soul, then, is a center of consciousness having its origin in Infinite Consciousness, and limited and brought into self-conscious relations with itself and the Universe by a material vehicle. In its inmost essence, this material vehicle is derived from the indestructible Substance-Aspect of the Unknowable; substance of so refined and ethereal a nature as to utterly transcend those properties and qualities with which we ordinarily associate matter, and which, because of this and because it is incapable of weight, measurement, or even comparison with the matter of this plane, has led to the formulating of the absurdly unscientific and unphilosophic materialistic hypotheses and philosophies of today.
