All is God!

Nothing is mean – nothing is insignificant – nothing can ever be. We are not the makers of anything that exists, consequently we have no right to despise anything whatever, not even the smallest insect or worm. Life does not originate with us; we simply observe it and the nearer we approach angelhood the less we feel like despising anything that exists within the universe, for all is God; All is God!

Why the forms of everything you have on earth are contained within a small ethereal germ – spiritual germ – which must he held within all earthly seed, whatever its kind, and each after its kind – and right here is where man makes a fatal mistake, for the spiritual germs of everything in existence or that ever did or ever will exist are forever within the ethereal atmosphere, and as this ether penetrates through the material atmosphere the flowers of all vegetation attract and hold, each its kind; so of all animals, so of all men. Men and animals breathe or inhale these germs; the male, or positive element, holds what can be made use of, the others escape – for they are indestructible in the exhalations of the breath or through the pores of the skin or through any or all organs of the body. The first form of anything does not hold the seed of all that is to come after, within itself. Such an idea is absolutely ridiculous, but the parent of anything forms the seed of that which is to immediately follow, by having the power to hold the spiritual germ. Forms have gradually evolved one after another, but they do not evolve the spiritual germs, but each male form is able to hold germs, which he inhales from the atmosphere, for the next generation which is to follow; this, then, completes the circle. At the age of puberty the next generation inhales and holds other germs which are the seeds of a future generation, and this is true of all vegetable and animal life.

Now you ask me about heredity. The spiritual germ has nothing to do with heredity. It is absolutely pure and undefiled, but as it takes on its first material clothing from the being who holds it, the flesh inherits all, or at least many of the traits of the parents. The father first clothes the ethereal germ in his blood and if his flesh is filled with vileness he clothes the germ accordingly and is even more responsible for the hereditary tendencies of the child than the mother. She does not furnish the life or the living principle –  the germ – she is negative and has not the power to hold them – she is female – but she furnishes the egg, or ovum; the germ therein finds lodgment and is nourished by the contents of the egg until it has taken on sufficient material to be hatched or thrown into the material world. If the germ is that of a mammal the egg falls, after a short time when it is ready, into the womb, there it is nourished by the blood of the mother until ready to be born.

Heredity is simply that which is inherited from the material with which the father or mother has clothed the germ. This is also the reason why children resemble their parents, but the soul, the inner principle, is not tainted in the least, for sooner or later, either in the material, or spiritual, or celestial life, it becomes perfect as at first and has progressed up through the material, the spiritual, the celestial gradually throwing off all impurities on its course  until it is a God-angel, or arch-angel, or the wisest and best angel that man can possibly conceive of and man cannot conceive of such an angel while yet he is so small and unprogressed as to be a man within a material body.
