PREFACE 
 
 I can tell you my knowledge, but I can- 
 not make it your knowledge. Your ac- 
 quiring of knowledge lies within yourself 
 and through your own right desires and by 
 your own right endeavors. 
 
 This article teaches, that the way to live 
 that is best for one's self is: Keep your 
 body, both Mentally and Materially in as 
 near a perfect condition as is possible. By 
 lowering your Spiritual condition, you are 
 lowering both the mental and material con- 
 dition of your body, and by neglecting the 
 proper material attention to your body, you 
 are liable to injury, ailments and disease. 
 
 To attain to the knowledge of the basis 
 and understanding of some things requires 
 the condition of a Clear Consciousness. 
 
 The Spirituality of a Clear Consciousness 
 is in its true and perfect condition in fact 
 and in action and is known and recogniz- 
 able by the Clear Consciousness, as well as 
 the Knowledge that the Spirituality could 
 attain to, which would include knowledge! 
 of all that concerned itself. | 
 
 There is nothing in either the Conscious- 
 ness or the Material Reason of a Clear 
 Consciousness between itself and Pure In- 
 telligence. 
 
 The ^statements made .herein are based on 
 knowled^ 'of tlm* WCKfer. '

A CLEAR CONSCIOUSNESS 
 
 The receipt and recognition of an impres- 
 sion is the classification of the form or 
 language of the impression. If the manner 
 and means of receiving and recognizing an 
 impression are correct, the form or lan- 
 guage of the impression is correctly classi- 
 fied and is knowledge. 
 
 Knowledge is only possible to a human 
 being, when its Material Reason or its 
 Senses and Material Reason come in con- 
 tact through Mind, with the subjects or 
 objects from which the knowledge is ob- 
 tainable, and only then is knowledge ac- 
 quired, when the manner and means of re- 
 ceiving and recognizing knowledge are cor- 
 rect as far as the item of knowledge is con- 
 cerned; for if a human being is not con- 
 centrated enough on the subject or object 
 of the knowledge, its manner is incorrect; 
 if the human being's Material Reason or 
 Senses and Material Reason are not in the 
 correct capacity and condition for truly 
 receiving and recognizing the impression 
 from the subject or object, its means are 
 incorrect. 
 
 The analyzing or defining the cause and 
 particulars of an impression received may 
 lead one beyond the form or language of 
 the impression and to a review or retro- 
 spection of Records in one's Material Rea- 
 son, which records may or may not be 
 either relative, pertinent or parallel to the 
 
 392696 
 
impression being analyzed or defined. The 
 true analysis or definition of an impression 
 or of anything is possible, if the right 
 records are in one's Material Reason to 
 provide the factors for such analysis or 
 definition. 
 
 While a human being has a wrong belief 
 on any line or subject, it cannot compre- 
 hend knowledge regarding such line or sub- 
 ject with which such wrong belief conflicts. 
 
 A Clear Consciousness has no beliefs — a 
 thing is either knowledge or not knowledge 
 to it — neither has a Clear Consciousness 
 any Fear or any desire of knowledge of 
 the affairs and actions of any other human 
 being, except in so far as such affairs and 
 actions may concern itself. 
 
 In acquiring knowledge and determining 
 things, there should be nothing in the 
 human being's Consciousness but the item 
 of knowledge or thing that is being de- 
 termined. 
 
 Any and every action of a human being 
 should be so executed that the Record of 
 it can be dismissed from the human being's 
 Consciousness at its own Will. 
 
 In determining knowledge or impressions 
 received, any imperfection in a human 
 being's Will or Character is likely to estab- 
 lish or limit the angle or view point from 
 which such determination is made. 
 
 A human being who is under obligation 
 to another may not make correct deter- 
 minations of some things as it is liable to 
 4 
 
be partial to the other or to the other's 
 desires. 
 
 If a human being has either vanity, con- 
 ceit, greed, deceit, hatred, malice, envy, 
 jealousy, revenge, or the desire to domineer 
 over or subordinate life and action of an- 
 other among its characteristics, it is in its 
 Consciousness and Will to gratify its charac- 
 teristics, and such human being is liable to 
 determine some things from such an angle 
 or view point as will furnish a basis for the 
 gratification of its characteristics. 
 
 To illustrate how determinations of hu- 
 man beings are guided by human character- 
 istics — some human beings have determined 
 that their God has as characteristics, jeal- 
 ously, desire to domineer over and revenge 
 — a Perfect human being would not have 
 any of the aforesaid characteristics, so 
 such human beings have determined their 
 God to be inferior to a Perfect human 
 being. 
 
 As the acquiring of knowledge is de- 
 pendent on the development and condition 
 of the manner and means that a human 
 being has at its disposal, it is evident that 
 the first step to take in acquiring knowledge 
 is to endeavor to perfect such manner and 
 means. 
 
 It is not required that a human being be 
 either a recluse or a hermit in order to at- 
 tain to the state of Clear Consciousness. 
 
 A Clear Consciousness is a Consciousness 
 whose Will is manifested in no Form but 
 5 
 
that of its own Personality and whose Ma- 
 terial Reason has no wrong beliefs among 
 its Records. 
 
 I have named the Brain as the Material 
 Reason, as Records that it contain furnish 
 the basis for the reasonings and determina- 
 tions made by Consciousness which is the 
 Determinator. 
 
 A Thought is the Consciousness of an 
 impression received by one's Material Rea- 
 son, or is the result of one's Reasoning, de- 
 termination or interpretation of or from 
 one or more impressions received by one's 
 Material Reason; one may or may not be 
 consciousness either of the basis or process 
 of reasoning, determining or interpreting 
 the Result which one becomes conscious of. 
 
 Every thought that a human being has 
 is based on some impression or impressions 
 that it has received. 
 
 A perfect human being could control 
 the line or subject of its thoughts, except 
 when such human being should be in need 
 of bodily attention when its Material Rea- 
 son would inform the Will of such human 
 being's needs; for instance when such hu- 
 man being required food. 
 
 The influence or control which the Will 
 or Character of a human being exercises 
 over the line or subject of its thoughts is 
 evident — a human being of Good Will and 
 Character, though it may have Records in 
 its Material Reasons of how it would be 
 possible to injure another human being; 
 6 
 
such records are not likely to be the 
 thoughts of a human being of Good Will 
 and Character. 
 
 The Spirituality of a human being is a 
 Unit and is also a quantity. 
 
 The Spirituality of a human being has 
 two component parts, Will and Mind. 
 
 The Will of a humin being is the In- 
 dividual, the Character; an instigator and 
 qualifier of force and action. 
 
 Will is in the form of molecules and a 
 Soul is composed of a number of these 
 molecules; these molecules are separable and 
 have the power or faculty of movement. A 
 complete and perfect Soul signified the 
 complete and perfect Individuality in its 
 own form, that is, there are none of its 
 molecules of Will manifested outside of its 
 own personality. 
 
 The Mind of a human being provides 
 both Life and Intelligence to the Will and 
 to the actions of Will — Mind has the prop- 
 erty of extension. 
 
 Mind is incorruptible — that Mind in pro- 
 viding life and intelligence to the actions 
 of Will is a demonstration of the Freedom 
 of Will of a human being — Mind, though it 
 may be forced by Will to maintain the life 
 of an imperfect action is not thereby cor- 
 rupted, Mind has not instigated the action, 
 but is simply maintaining the life of some- 
 thing that is a fact and true. 
 
 It is not required to maintain the life of 
 a human being, that all of a human being's 
 7 
 
Spirituality inhabit or occupy its body. 
 
 If Spirituality (Will and Mind) is Eter- 
 nal, it does not signify that each and every 
 Soul is always or continuously in existence 
 in its complete and perfect form. 
 
 It is required that Spirituality cause and 
 maintain all life and action; Will to cause 
 and Mind to maintain. 
 
 Material Reason is material and is sub- 
 ject to affect by material acts and things, 
 including material injury, disease and the 
 wrong diet of the human being. 
 
 Conscientiousness is the highest principle 
 of Material Reason; it is the principle and 
 function which by its degree of develop- 
 ment and condition determines the condi- 
 tion of the Spirituality of a human being. 
 When a human being's Conscientiousness 
 is fully developed and in perfect condition, 
 the Spirituality of the human being is in 
 perfect condition. 
 
 A human being cannot comprehend 
 Spirituality beyond the capacity and con- 
 dition of its Material Reasoning faculties of 
 Conscientiousness any more than compre- 
 hend Mathematics beyond the capacity and 
 condition of its Material Reasoning faculties 
 of Mathematics. 
 
 The process of Material Death cannot be 
 mentally unpleasant to a human being 
 whose Conscience is clear at the time by 
 such human being's understanding, the 
 human being may then realize or its un- 
 conscious reasoning may so influence the 
 8 
 
state of its mentality, that the Individual is 
 leaving the body that is unfit for further 
 occupancy and that it is dying without any 
 regrets of the past. 
 
 It does not always signify that a human 
 being dying with its understanding as having 
 a clear Conscience has Spiritually perfected 
 itself; it signifies that the human being is 
 satisfied with the ending of its life at a 
 standard of perfection set by its Conscious- 
 ness at the time. 
 
 When a human being is unable to ma- 
 terially perform the function of living, 
 Spirituality leaves its body and death en- 
 sues. 
 
 The duration of time of the life of a 
 human being may be conditioned by either 
 one or both of the following causes, viz: 
 when it is materially imperfect at birth and 
 when imperfect conditions affect or act on 
 it after birth. 
 
 TTiat one's Material Reason is a store 
 house of the impressions received and of 
 determinations made of things is evident 
 from the fact that a human being may have 
 its Material Reason made defective by ma- 
 terial injury or put in an imperfect condi- 
 tion by either disease or the wrong diet, its 
 Consciousness cannot overcome either any 
 defects or imperfect condition in recalling 
 Records which may have been rendered 
 silent by such injury, disease or wrong diet 
 until the material effect of such injury, 
 9 
 
disease or wrong diet has either abated, 
 withdrawn or been overcome. 
 
 A Soul, when in the State of Perfection 
 and with no living manifestation either of 
 itself or of its actions existant, has a place 
 of sojournment, the substance of which 
 place is of the nature of the substance of 
 itself — and a Soul at such place of sojourn- 
 ment, cannot depart from its pure Spiritu- 
 ality as there is no material at such place 
 with which to manifest any departure from 
 pure Spirituality. 
 
 It is evident that every Individual who 
 is born Spiritually imperfect has before its 
 present life, lived a previous material life 
 or lives during which it departed from its 
 Individuality or Spiritual Perfection. 
 
 In the reincarnation of an Individual, the 
 Individual begins its life, as regards to 
 Spiritual condition the same as it left its 
 previous life. 
 
 The compliment of an Individual is that 
 part of its conditions and actions that is 
 manifested apart from its personality, such 
 compliment requiring the use of Spirituality 
 of the Individual for its maintenance. 
 
 Anything to be Perfect, must be com- 
 plete and perfect in Form — thence any 
 condition or action that causes a Soul to be 
 incomplete or imperfect in Form is a de- 
 parture from Perfection. 
 
 When a Soul manifests itself in this 
 World, the Will of the Soul passes to and^ 
 for the use of its material manifestation, : 
 10 : 
 
the human being; the Soul then becomes the 
 Servant of the human being and has no 
 power of initiative to use for itself. 
 
 In whatever the conduct of the Individual 
 that departs from Perfection, the Soul fur- 
 nishes the Consciousness or the life and in- 
 telligence to the manifestation of such de- 
 parture and consequently the Individual is 
 deprived of the quantity of Spirituality that 
 the Consciousness of these departures re- 
 quires for their manifestation, until such de- 
 partures have been recalled by the In- 
 dividual. 
 
 It is the order and plan of the existence 
 of human beings in this World, that they, 
 each and all are entitled to the same con- 
 sideration and any act of departure from 
 Perfection has its effect on the Individual 
 causing it, whether or not the Individual is 
 conscious of the act being a departure from 
 Perfection, or whether or not the Individual 
 is conscious of the effect caused by such de- 
 parture. 
 
 A human being has Freedom of Will to 
 act as it desires, up to its intelligence, ca- 
 pacity, means and condition, unless re- 
 sisted, restricted or limited by an act or 
 acts of another or other human beings. 
 
 There can be certain actions of a human 
 being that depart from its Individuality, 
 and in the process of the manifestation of 
 these certain actions, molecules of Will, 
 characterized by these certain actions, move 
 or depart from its Soul and attach them- 
 11 
 
selves to those elementary forms of pos- 
 sible material Consciousness that will ma- 
 terially manifest their characteristics. 
 
 An Individual is an entirety in itself, and 
 when one Individual goes beyond or out- 
 side of its Individuality and attempts to 
 appropriate of, subordinate or domineer 
 over the life and action of another In- 
 dividuality, it is departing from its own 
 Individuality or Perfection; and by such 
 act, molecules of its Will, characterized by 
 such act move or depart from its Soul, to 
 the deprivation of its Soul of the quantity 
 of Spirituality that is required to manifest 
 and maintain the manifestation of such 
 act, leaving such Soul incomplete in form, 
 until such Individual has changed its charac- 
 ter or recalled such act of departure; 
 whether such change of character or recall 
 be in one minute or not until the Individual 
 has lived a number of incarnations. 
 
 No molecules of Will that are not of the 
 character of pure Spirituality can remain 
 or form part of a Soul. 
 
 In the reincarnation of an Individual who 
 has departed from Perfection, it will, if 
 such departure is still in existence as a de- 
 parture be of a lower degree as regards 
 Consciousness or capacity of reasoning 
 faculties as Consciousness that is not purely 
 Spiritual or not in the form of the Soul can- 
 not be manifested in the form of a human 
 being; the form of a human being is the 
 12 
 
manifestation of the Soul or only pure Con- 
 sciousness. 
 
 An Individual is born with the same 
 material basis for capacity of Conscien- 
 tiousness and faculty of comprehension as 
 is its Intuitional capacity and extent of 
 its use of its Will Spiritually. 
 
 We cannot say that any human being is 
 born with evil in its Consciousness, as what 
 Material Reason a human being has at 
 birth is Spiritually pure and has no Records 
 of any past life. We can say, that some 
 human beings are born with a deficit as re- 
 gards reasoning faculties, which deficit can 
 be either maintained, reduced or enlarged, 
 according to what the conditions and ac- 
 tions of the human being are during its 
 lifetime. 
 
 One human being cannot domineer over 
 or subordinate life and action of another 
 human being through purely Spiritual 
 means — any action that is done in response 
 to a thought transmission is done by and 
 with the Free Will of the receiver of such 
 transmitted thought. 
 
 A human being who sacrifices its Con- 
 science, is depriving itself of the use of its 
 Will Spiritually and a human being who 
 has departed to a certain degree from pure 
 Spirituality or Individuality cannot convey 
 or transmit a thought to another by the 
 sole use of its Spirituality. 
 
 The order and plan of the existence of 
 human beings in this World is most per- 
 13 
 
fectly beneficent; as I have stated pre- 
 viously, there are no Records in the Ma- 
 terial Reason of a human being of any 
 past life, so the author of any specific 
 wrong act cannot, after its material death, 
 be identified either by its own reincarna- 
 tion or by any other human being. 
 
 There is no Will other than the Wills of 
 human beings that acts on or affects the 
 conditions of life of human beings in this 
 World and only human beings and their 
 Souls can be affected by the condtions 
 and actions that exist and take place. 
 
 A human being is impairing the condi- 
 tion of its Spirituality when it commits one 
 or any of the following actions: 
 
 When one deceives another, as it is sub- 
 ordinating the use of the other's Material 
 Reasoning faculties to a false use, thereby 
 lowering the capacity of the other to reason 
 correctly. 
 
 When one domineers over the life and 
 action of another; If a human being is 
 domineered over and realizes such domin- 
 ation, such human being's Will, Material 
 Reason and other bodily organs and func- 
 tions cannot work in harmony and unison 
 and the effect is injurious to the Mental 
 and Material condition of the one domin- 
 eered over. If a human being domineered 
 over does not realize such domination, the 
 effect on such domineered over one is to 
 retard the development of its Material 
 Reason. 
 
 14 
 
When one appropriates property of an- 
 other, it is depriving the other of some- 
 thing that is a part of the other's action 
 or existence. 
 
 One should avoid as much as possible 
 the making of promises and the assumption 
 of obHgations. A promise made or an ob- 
 Hgation assumed defeats individuahty and 
 freedom of Consciousness: an action which 
 today may seem possible of accomplish- 
 ment may on tomorrow be found impos- 
 sible of accomplishment. One way of ac- 
 tion under a given circumstance, which at 
 the present time may seem right, may later 
 on appear wrong. 
 
 One should never exact a promise from 
 another nor ask another to keep a secret 
 — as such acts are acts of attempted dom- 
 ination over the individuality and freedom 
 of the other. 
 
 Do not pray to or worship anything that 
 is either real or imaginary — worship and 
 prayer signify either superstition, fear or 
 lack of confidence in one*s self. 
 
 A human being would not be Free if 
 under any obligation to either worship or 
 pray. 
 
 Do not utter derogatory remarks regard- 
 ing another's character, you may not know 
 the other's character and even if you did 
 know the other's character at one time, 
 the other may have changed its character 
 a minute later, so that your remarks may 
 be false or untrue when uttered. 
 15 
 
There is no connection between Mind 
 and Body, there is connection between the 
 Brain or Material Reason and other bodily 
 organs and functions. 
 
 The relationship between Mind and Body 
 is, that Mind is only effectively operative 
 in a human being as a provider of life and 
 intelligence up to the Material develop- 
 ment, capacity and condition of the human 
 being — also that the human being's ma- 
 teriality is only effectively operative up 
 to the continuosity and quantity of Mind 
 occupying its body; which last condition is 
 sometimes governed by the condition of a 
 human being's Mentality, for instance when 
 a human being has Fear, in which case, 
 part or all of the human being's Conscious- 
 nesss is on the object and the manifesta- 
 tion of its Fear and not fully providing 
 the human being life and intelligence. 
 
 While a human being has either vanity, 
 conceit, greed, deceit, anger, hatred, envy, 
 jealousy, malice, revenge, the desire to 
 domineer over or subordinate life and 
 action of another, it cannot have the full 
 and perfect use of its Material Reasoning 
 faculties either Mentally or Materially as 
 such characteristics are not of Individuality 
 or Perfection and concern the individuality 
 of others, and the gratifying of such char- 
 acteristics is employing the Material Reason 
 and its accompanying Consciousness for a 
 purpose for which it is neither intended nor 
 constructed for. 
 
 16 
 
It is required for the welfare of the ma- 
 terial condition of a human being that the 
 connection and relationship between its 
 Brain or nerve centers and other bodily 
 organs and functions be kept full, clear and 
 continuous. In the gratifying of any of the 
 aforesaid characteristics a human being is 
 withdrawing its Spirituality from its Brain 
 or nerve centers to the impairment of the 
 condition of such full, clear and continuous 
 connection, leaving both its Brain or nerve 
 centers and other bodily organs and func- 
 tions in a depleted state as regards the 
 use of Spirituality to provide the required 
 life and Intelligence for their proper work- 
 ings; as any characteristic or act which is a 
 departure from Individuality or Perfection 
 must be manifested apart from the human 
 being and such manifestation of departure 
 requires the use of Spirituality of the human 
 being for its manifestation and mainte- 
 nance to the deprivation of the use of such 
 Spirituality for the human being's person- 
 ality. 
 
 Pangs of Conscience are but the desires 
 of Consciousness to regain its Individuality 
 and Freedom. 
 
 A Clear Consciousness has no secret re- 
 garding either itself or its actions and a 
 clear Consciousness cannot tell a secret of 
 another, as of another's secret, it has no 
 knowledge as it cannot always define the 
 cause and particulars of such secret. 
 
 A Clear Consciousness cannot always 
 17 
 
judge another's character by some of the 
 other's actions, some of the other's 
 actions may have been caused by 
 a wrong beHef or done at the Will or in- 
 stigation of some other human being. 
 
 The character of a human being may be 
 Superior to some of its actions. 
 
 Our actions are too much influenced by 
 fear, existing conventionalities and clock- 
 time. 
 
 We use clock-time by which to rest and 
 to eat — a human being should rest when- 
 ever and as long as its body requires it — 
 and eat whenever it is hungry until its ap- 
 petite is satisfied. It is a function of one's 
 Senses to inform the human being's Con- 
 sciousness through its Material Reason when 
 and how its body needs attention. 
 
 If every human being should utter as 
 the Truth and knowledge only that which 
 is known to it to be such, it is evident that 
 the next generation would be freer from 
 wrong beliefs and Superstition and have 
 better mental and material condition than 
 the present generation. As the Material 
 Reason of a human being is the Guide to 
 its actions both Mental and Material, it is 
 evident that the freer such Material Reason 
 is of wrong beliefs and superstition, the 
 nearer to Perfection will be its guidance 
 mentally and its workings materially. All 
 wrong beliefs and superstition are mani- 
 fested materially at the expense of the 
 human being's Spirituality that has them. 
 18 
 
The present conditions of life in this 
 World are too complex and too mechanical. 
 Mankind has been increasing the variety of 
 its usage of material things. We can take 
 the same materials and make either guns 
 or cash registers, but what would be the 
 requirement of either guns or cash regis- 
 ters if the actions of human beings in this 
 World were perfect. 
 
 Mankind has been increasing the variety 
 of its usage of material things and is there- 
 by enabled to either prevent, combat, 
 alleviate or allay some of the ill effects re- 
 sulting or that may result from imperfect 
 actions and conditions, and by the same 
 increasing usage of material things is en- 
 abled to still further increase and augment 
 the imperfect actions and conditions. 
 
 How many words and terms in our 
 Dictionaries, the use of which could be dis- 
 pensed with if the actions of human beings 
 and the conditions of life in this World 
 were perfect. 
 
 The Superstition and imperfect condi- 
 tions at present existing in this World have 
 all been caused by imperfect actions of 
 mankind — and mankind can by limiting 
 its Thoughts and actions to the guidance 
 of Intelligence cease the continuation of 
 the causes required for the perpetuation of 
 such Superstition and imperfect conditions. 
 
 The workings of Nature and the forms 
 and characteristics of animal and vegetable 
 life are the compliment to the conditions 
 19 
 
and actions of human beings. 
 
 Nature has no Will. 
 
 An animal has no volition of any Will, 
 but to act out the characteristics which it 
 is born with and are its true nature, except 
 in instances where mankind has changed the 
 animal's characteristics. 
 
 A human being of its own volition can 
 change its character, which illustrates its 
 Freedom of Will. Mankind governs the 
 working of Nature and the forms and 
 characteristics of animal and vegetable life 
 party consciously and partly unconsciously. 
 
 Mankind would not be the Superior 
 creation in the World if governed by Nature 
 and the animal and vegetable life of the 
 World. 
 
 The Soul of a human being is illumed. 
 
 The molecules of Will of an animal are 
 not illumed — an animal has no Soul. 
 
 The basis of Love that one human being 
 may have for another is that a human being 
 either recognizes or imagines in the other 
 some characteristic or characteristics that 
 meet with its approbation. 
 
 A human being can have a Good Will 
 for and toward all other human beings and 
 may Love only some of the human beings 
 that it has met. 
 
 The fullness of Life of a human being is 
 not complete until the human being has 
 for a mate, one of the opposite sex, be- 
 tween whom and itself there exists a love 
 and attachment that is both steadfast and 
 20 
 
constant; the higher their development and 
 condition of Spirituality is, the nearer per- 
 fection will be their intuition of each other's 
 desires and requirements — one should have 
 no secret from the other — the Will of one 
 is for the use of the other, not by subordin- 
 ation or domination, but voluntarily — the 
 contentment and happiness of one is re- 
 flected in the other — such Love is bound- 
 less and of its own accord is imperishable 
 — if they both should be absolutely Per- 
 fect, no other human being or other thing 
 need mar the perfect conditions of their 
 lives. 
 
 The order and plan of the existence of 
 human beings in this World is absolutely 
 just. There is no such thing as the condi- 
 tions of a human being's life being pre- 
 ordained. 
 
 A cause of the discomforture of any 
 human being has originated within its own 
 Individuality, either in this or in some past 
 material life or lives — such cause being the 
 imperfect condition of the human beings 
 Spirituality and intuitional faculties. A 
 human being with perfect condition of its 
 Spirituality and intuitional faculties need 
 not be discomforted either by the act of 
 another or any condition existing or by its 
 own thoughts — its own thoughts need only 
 be pure Intelligence of things, need not be 
 discomforting of anything or any condition 
 that it had not been a cause of. 
 
 The higher the development and condi- 
 21 
 
tion of your Consciousness and body, the 
 more fuller will be your enjoyment of the 
 pleasures of life, as material enjoyment 
 like material ills are realized more keenly 
 in a human being of a higher state of de- 
 velopment and condition than in one of a 
 lower state of development and condition. 
 
 The condition of Clear Consciousness is 
 no mystery. Each Individual has the same 
 quantity of Consciousness or Spirituality, 
 the only difference between a Clear Con- 
 sciousness and one that is not Clear is, 
 that the one that is not clear is partly mani- 
 fested apart from its personality. 
 
 Life should appear and be most Beautiful 
 to any human being who can comprehend 
 the working of Reincarnation and realize 
 that it has had and still has in its own Will 
 and actions the making of its own Destiny. 
 
 In concluding this article, I will say that 
 Material life for an Individual is superior to 
 a purely Spiritual life, otherwise we would 
 not be in this World — the superiority of the 
 Material life lies in the opportunity for the 
 gratification of the Senses. 
 
 An Individual can only enjoy Individu- 
 ality and Freedom and the ultimate that is 
 possible in life to the extent that it has and 
 does respect both in Thought and action
