Sinopsis

Excerpt from Clavis Rerum: I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End

The anomalies, presented by the first class of phenomena, arise out of the nature of the lower animals, their historical position in the evolution of the Universe, and their relation, on the one hand, to the vegetable world, and on the other hand, to man. This is the unsolved problem of the visible creation. Here is a race of beings whose physical structure, starting from the simplest of organic forms, has developed by regular but almost imperceptible gradations into a body nearly identical with that of man. They possess many of the faculties commonly attributed to an immaterial nature. Their appar ent mental, moral, and emotional Operations can scarcely be distin guished from the corresponding operations of the human mind. They occupy, in the history of evolution, a position between plants and men. Why has this race of beings been created? What is the place they fill in the great plan of the Universe? What portion of the divine purpose is accomplished by their birth, their struggles.
