Do you want to know why they take this form?

Everything in animal life, and the flower and vegetable kingdom, in its highest development, takes a certain resemblance to humanity because the human entity is the highest expression of life, demonstrating, in a physical way, on the earth plane. 

For instance, you know when a dog or horse is loved and cared for by anyone―it is said the animal becomes almost human in its intelligence. There are Nature thought forms―some of which are made by the emanations, the excess life, as it were, from the flowers. These are the so-called fairies, which are not, as you supposed when you outgrew childhood, merely a charming figment of imagination, but actually exist, and were seen in the beginning by those who lived in touch with Nature and had unspoiled eyes to see the wonders and beauties of God's world. These creatures have intelligence without being intellectual and are almost human in form.

Do you want to know why they take this form?

Well―all life must take some form when it emanates, and why not this? After all, there is no resemblance between the tiny seed you sow in the ground and the beautiful flower that springs from it eventually.

The thought forms of flowers are the spirit side of their life on the physical plane, and they are stronger than human thought forms, for the life that goes to them is a steady continuous stream while that supplied by human thought varies and fluctuates.

Flowers in the spirit world have no spirit forms, for they are themselves spirits.
