The Evolution Of Immortality Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Evolution of Immortality The Creed says, I believe in the resurrection Of the body. In its earlier and more naive form it says the resurrection of the flesh. This phrase is capable of a wider and more reasonable interpretation than the words would seem to imply. Such a meaning is Very gen erally read into it. But when the phrase was formulated, it was intended to mean precisely what it says. This is the meaning which it still has for the multitude. It means that at the moment Of death the soul and body sepa rate; that the body slowly decays and is disim tegrated; that the soul goes temporarily to a place Of its own where it endures in a state of partial self-consciousness for a long but indefi nite period; that at the end of that period every body which has ever lived will be recon stituted, Of the same -matter, with member, joint, and limb restored; that each soul will be reunited to its own body; that then comes judgment, reward, and doom.

It was undertaken simply as a matter of personal study and in order to While away odd moments of a busy professional life. Having, however, read it on several public occasions, a de mand arose for its publication in a manner that seemed to overbalance whatever of personal rea sons existed in opposition.

Excerpt from Evolution of Immortality There are good and noble souls who, still matter-bound, will claim that I am dancing in the air, which opinion I shall receive as a compliment, since he who can dance in air is dancing in spirit, and is nearer to freedom than they who, tree-like, are rooted in the solid earth. TO such I commend the consideration of the soul as a seed enveloped in matter, the fruit of which is immortality. We have not eaten freely of this fruit because the way to the tree of life has been, and is still, guarded by the flaming sword of fear, which sends forth forked tongues of the flame Of divine wrath from every conventicle, church, mosque, and cathedral throughout the whole wide world.
