What kind of authority does God give us?

Broadcast have scattered the seeds of life throughout the Universe. 

Each seed contains the power of development, of evolution, within itself—it is the principle, of which it is. 

Indestructible are these seeds. 

Finding proper conditions, they begin their evolutions, ever-accumulating forces as they roll on toward eternity. It is like a boy, making a mammoth snowball by rolling it in the open field—every time he turns it over, it grows larger in proportion to its own size. 

So, the faculties of mind through each successive stage gain from that through which they pass in proportion to their own development. 

After mind becomes man it has reached a development where memory may be retained, as well as a dim perception of the Godmind from which it sprang. And strangely enough, it is only then that rebellion against God occurs in this transitional state of the soul, it is as if feeling the spiritual quickening before the birth into the true heirship of the sons of God, the soul were loth to leave its slow, crude condition of mere cosmos force, wherein its Odic faculties have lain dormant. 

Nothing below man rebels at its appointments.
