Spiritual Evolution

INTRODUCTION.Evolution is denned by science as a process of systematic development by which things that are have come to be what they are.Add to this Le Conte's definition, "Evolution is the Divine Method of Creation."These studies in spiritual evolution are based on the axiomatic principles that "all forces of nature are forms of divine energy, and all laws of nature are regular modes of operation of divine energy, or will." Many men of science have thus far been content to limit the principle of evolntion to physical and mental development.We shall find a rich vein of thought opening to our minds if we follow the lead of some of the most profound men of science and philosophy of today who recognize that the principle of evolution includes also spiritual development.This is the theme to which we are to give our attention in these studies.5Univ Calif - Digitized by Microsoft ®Table of Contents Contents; Introduction - Page 5; I Spiritual Heredity - Page 6; II Spiritual Environment, - -
