Part V - Sonship

Wisdom is a spiritual flower.  The topics covered in Part V are the fragrances of spiritual flowers. 

 A man must not be dead to beauty. He must learn to find that which is applicable to all worlds amidst earthly conditions.

 While man may ponder the essences of being, energy, and evolution, he cannot alter them.  They are measured by their infinite manifestation in time and space.

The essence of existence proclaims that in creation everything has continuity up to and into the beauty of Infinity.

Every action of a man contains its own essence. The quality of the action determines the quality of manifestation in reality. Creativeness and the direction of the action are contained in a man’s thought.

When a man rejoices at flowers and values their fresh fragrance, he has already contacted the subtle abstract world. In the flowers of Earth, in the plumage of birds, and in the wonders of wisdom, man can find the joy that prepares him for the wonders of heaven. 

Good is a pleasant fragrance.  Evil is a poisonous stench. The transmutation of energy into

fragrance is a fact. When the fragrance of a rose is evident, one can presume the nearness of the physical and the subtle energy of the source. Contrarily, the smell of decay accompanies everything low on the physical and on the spiritual plane as well. Smell is one of the most intimate identifications for everything that draws near.
