“The One God is above all in greatness, but under Him above all else on Earth is the soul of man. It is not isolated from the Godhead above, nor from the mortal below, for it is that, which spans the gulf between. It is the link between God and man, between immortal and mortal.
“Nothing exists, which is or can be isolated from all else. There is a connection between Earth and the Region of Glory, a link between dust and star. From the Highest God down to the mote runs an unbroken and unbreakable chain.
“Man is apart from all other creatures, in that he has foreknowledge of death and decay. If man be immortal, then it is the burden of his immortality; but if he passes to nothingness, he is cursed above the unknowing beasts, which know not the dread of approaching doom.
“Has man been placed above the beasts to be confronted with his
own nothingness? Is his superiority nought but the father of terrors? Such cannot be, for the direction of life is ever towards betterment, and it cannot be cast back upon itself.”
-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:1-4)
The Greatness of God
It should be obvious that the greatness of God is greater than that of any other being, but some people don’t understand that. If any other being were greater than God, then that being would be the true god.
Soul of Man
It is true that the Soul of Man is above all else on Earth. The Soul is that part of us that is capable of immortal life, but we must make the effort to awaken and develop it while we are on Earth. It is true that the human Spirit, which becomes a Soul when properly developed, Links Heaven and Earth. The Spiritual Sun also acts as an intermediary between Man and God by bringing God’s Light to us, but it is up to us to accept that Light and use it to develop our Spirit.
Nothing Can Be Isolated
This statement in the quote is true. Nothing can be isolated from other things. Everything is connected. In Cosolargy, we wear our sacred thread to remind us of that fact. Until recently, most scientists disagreed with this belief, but increasing evidence of the fact is starting to convince some. Particularly, the fact that scientific experiments have shown that two identical particles can affect each other, even when separated by a large distance.
Man is Different
It is true that man is different from all other Earthbound beings in that he has foreknowledge of death. Not that we know when we will die, but we know that someday our physical self will end. That is why it is so important to develop our spiritual Self before that happens. And while animals may not understand death as we do, there is evidence that when a pet is dying, they are aware of it and will behave in certain ways that are different from their normal behavior.
Direction of Life
It is true that the direction of life is always toward betterment, but materialistic scientists think that evolution has always moved forward. In actual fact, man has devolved from a much greater being of Light and Spirit. We are now at the point in human history where we can choose to turn around and start evolving again. God has sent us the Sun of Righteousness to help. But God isn’t going to do it all for us. We need to make the effort ourselves.
