I.
Whatever exists, either exists as a whole, as God, or is a part,
or an emanation from God.
II.
In the Whole as an "angel", unconscious of the Whole, is an
undescended Spirit.
III.
Parted from the Whole, yet a portion of the Whole, and
unconscious of the Whole, is the law of
differentiation.
IV.
Parted from the Whole, with the Whole, yet external
to the Whole, is a descended or fallen spirit.
V.
Parted from the Whole, with the Whole, yet conscious of the
Whole, and knowing it has fallen away from, and that it
should, and can, return to the Whole, is the
Law if Reascension.
VI.
That which is parted from the Whole, and turns again
to the Whole, is the Law of True Repentance.
VII.
That which was parted from the Whole, and has again
returned to the Whole, as a part of the Whole, remains
so forever as a blest spirit, and is the
Law of Perfect At-one-ment.
Thomas H. Burgoyne
