JOURNEY OF JOSEPH AND MARY
THE MARVELOUS STORY OF THE JOURNEY OF JOSEPH AND
MARY TO JERUSALEM TO PAY THEIR TAXES
PHYSIOLOGICALLY EXPLAINED
ON EITHER side of the Thalamus, in the head, is a gland, known in physiology as the Pineal, on the posterior, and the Pituitary on the anterior side of the Thalamus.
The Pineal is cone shaped, and secretes a yellow or golden fluid. The Pituitary Body, opposite it, is ellipsoid in shape, and contains a whitish secretion, like milk.
The fluids that are found in both these bodies come from the same source, namely, the Claustrum, which means "barrier" or "cloister," and is referred to as cloister for the very good reason that a precious and holy thing is secreted or secluded there. Saint Claus, or Santa Claus, is another term for this precious fluid, which is indeed a holy gift in the body of each one of us.
The precious fluid which flows down from the Claus- trum separates, part going into the Pineal gland and part to the Pituitary body, and these, being special laboratories of the head, differentiate the fluid from the Claustrum, and it takes on the colors above mentioned, and in the Pineal Gland becomes yellow and has electric properties. The Pituitary Body, having the milk-like fluid, has mag- netic properties.
These two glands are the male and female, the Joseph and Mary of the physical body, and are the par- ents of the spiritual son born in the solar plexus of each human being, commencing about the age of twelve.
This yellow and white material, which is the milk and honey referred to in the Bible, the children of Israel having been given the promise of a return to this land flowing with milk and honey, at last reaches the solar plexus via semi-lunar ganglia (see chart), the Bethle-
[19]

hem of the physical body. In Hebrew, Bethlehem means "house" (Beth) of bread (lehem). "I am the bread of life," said the allegorical Jesus.
In the solar plexus is a thimble-shaped depression — a CAVE — or manger, and in this is deposited the psycho- physical seed, or holy child, born of this immaculate con- ception. This psycho-physical seed is also called "fish," as it has the odor of fish and is formed in the midst of the waters, the pure water. "Jesus is a fish in the midst of the waters" — St. Augustine. Before birth the human foetus floats, like a fish, in the fluids by which it is sur- rounded. And as it is with the child formed on the generative plane, so it is with the spiritual child born in the solar-plexus — the Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary, by furnishing the material for the spiritual child which was to redeem the child or body formed in generation, paid the symbolical redemption money.
Holy Ghost — Greek for breath. The breath, descend- ing the pneumo-gastric nerve into the solar center, enters the manger where Joseph and Mary are, and where is Jesus the Seed literally "conceived by the Holy Ghost"

MAN
"God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions/'
THERE is an automatic procedure within the human body, which, if not interfered with, will do away with sickness, trouble, sorrow and death, as stated in the Bible.
Truly, mankind, or the natural man, seeks many ways and means to prevent the upright, perfect, automatic way from "accomplishing that whereunto it was sent."
The natural man forever seeks pleasurable sensation, wnich is at enmity with God. Physical sensation (ttic "Pleasures of sin for a season/1 or limited duration, re- ferred to by Paul, are under the law, or below the solar olexus, hence, "He that is led by the spirit is not under the Uw."
The 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet, "schin" or ''shin," lacks one of the complete alphabet, "tav," the 22nd letter, meaning the "cross."
Herewith are given a few of the Greek and Hebrew characters that have been translated, "sin, or falling short." Hebrew: "asham, het, chet, hata, avon" (trans- lated iniquity more than 200 times), means "Conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity" (or sin), pesha or pasha.
In Greek we find this word written as "harmartfa, proanartano, anamartetos, anomia, anomos, parabaimo."
Any act, coming under the meaning of sin, retards or prevents the automatic action of the seed, which, if not interfered with, lifts up a portion (one-tenth) of the life essence (oil or secretion) that constantly flows down the spinal cord (a "Strait and narrow way") and trans- mutes it, thus increasing its power many fold and per- petuating the body indefinitely, or until the Ego desires to
[21]

dissolve it by rates of motion set in action by its inherent will.
If the allegories of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as well as Paul's Epistles and Acts of the Apostles teach any- thing, they teach the mastery and transmutation of the human body by anyone who obeys the physiological guide book — the whole book — the Holy Bible.
But let the reader observe that each of the 66 books, as well as an almost countless number of ancient books of all races and languages, teach the same mathematical and physiological facts.
Man has turned the mighty power he possesses to every object and principle of force in the universe except himself^ the greatest miracle of all. When man focuses his divine thinking lens upon himself, he will realize that he is an epitome of unlimited Cosmic Energy. Then the "Heavens will roll together as a scroll" and reveal the Real Man as "the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world."

IT: THE ETERNITY OF PERFECTION
A CHILD brought to its mother a piece of ice and asked: "What is this?"
The mother answered, "it is ice."
Again the child asked, "What is there in ice?"
The mother answered: "There is water in the ice."
The child desired to find the water in the ice, and it procured a hammer, pounded the piece of ice into little bits and the warm air soon changed all the ice to water. The child was grievously disappointed, for the ice that the child supposed contained water had disappeared.
And the child said, "Where is the ice that contained this water?"
And so it came to pass that the mother was compelled, by the child's persistent questions, to say, "ice is all water; there is no such thing as ice; that which we call ice is crystalized or frozen water."
The child understood.
A student brought to his teacher some water and asked, "What is water ? What does it contain ?"
The teacher answered, "Water contains oxygen and hydrogen," and then explained how the two gases might be separated and set free by heat.
The student boiled the water until all of the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen had been set free, but he was surprised to find that all of the water had disappeared.
Then the student asked of the teacher, "Where is the water that held the gases that have escaped?"
Then was the teacher compelled by the student's per- sistent questions to answer, "Water itself is the product of oxygen and hydrogen. Water does not contain any- thing other than these gases. In reality, there is no such substances or fluid as water; that which we name water is a rate of motion set in operation by the union of two
[23]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
parts of hydrogen with one part of oxygen and, of course, the phenomenon disappears when the union of the gases is broken."
The student understood.
A devout scientist presented himself before God and said, "Lord, what are these gases men call oxygen and hydrogen?"
The good Lord answered and said, "They are mole- cules in the blood and body of the universe."
Then spake the scientist, "Lord, wilt thou tell me of the kind of molecules that compose Thy blood and body?"
The Lord replied, "These same molecules, gases or principles, compose my blood and body; for I and the universe are one and the same."
Once again the scientist said, "My Lord, may I ask, then, what is spirit and what is matter?"
And thus answered the Lord :
"As ice and water are one, and the gases and water are one, so is spirit and matter one. The different phases and manifestations cognized by man in the molecules of My body — that is, the universe — are caused by the Word ; thus, they are My thoughts clothed with form."
Now the scientist felt bold, being redeemed from fear, and asked "is my blood, then, identical with Thy blood in composition and Divine Essence?"
And the Lord said, "Yea, thou art one with the Father." ^
The scientist now understood and said:
"Now mine eyes are opened and I perceive that, when I eat, I partake of Thy body; when I drink, I drink of Thy blood; and when I breathe, I breathe Thy spirit."
So-called matter is Pure Intelligence and nothing else — because there is not anything else.
Pure intelligence cannot progress or become better. There is nothing but Intelligence. Omnipresence, Omni- potence, Omniscience must mean Intelligence; therefore these terms are all included in the word.
Let us adopt a short word that will express all that the above written words are intended to express, namely, the word IT. "I" stand for all— the eternal I. "T" stands
[24]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
for operation, manifestation, vibration, action or motion. The "I" in motion is "T," or Crossification, viz., the T-cross. We say, "IT" rains! "IT is cold!" "IT is all right!" What do we mean by "It?" Who knows? Some say, "The weather!" Others, "Natural phenom- ena !" Very well, then — what do we mean by "the weather," or "natural phenomena?" Why, just It, of course !
IT does not progress ; it does not need to. IT forever manifests, operates, differentiates and presents different aspects or viewpoints of ITSELF. But these different phases are neither good, better nor best, neither bad nor worse — simply different shades and colorings of the One and Only Intelligence.
Every so-called thing, whether it be animal, vegetable or mineral, molecule or atom, ion or electron, is the result of the One Intelligence expressing itself in different rates of motion. Then what is Spirit?
Spirit means breath or life. Spirit, that which is breathed into man, must be intelligence, or man would not be intelligent. Non-intelligent substance, which is, of course, unthinkable, would not breathe into anything, nor make it intelligent if it did. Therefore, we see that Spirit, Intelligence and Matter are one and the same Esse in different rates of motion.
So-called molecules, atoms, electrons, know what to do. They know where and how to cohere, unite and operate to form a leaf or a flower. They know how to separate and disintegrate that same leaf or flower. These particles of omnipresent life build planets, suns and systems; they hurl the comet on its way across measureless deserts of star-dust and emboss its burning path.
From the materialistic and individual concept of life and its operations, it is pitiable and pathetic to view the wrecks along the shores of science. It is only when we view these apparently sad failures from the firm foothold of the unity of being and the operation of wisdom that we clearly see in these frictions and warring elements and temporary defeats and victories the chemical operation of Eternal Spirit — operating with its own substance — its very
[25]

self. It is only through the fires of transmutation that we are enabled to see that all life is one Eternal Life and therefore cannot be taken, injured, or destroyed.
The fitful, varying, changing beliefs of men in the tran- sition stage from the sleep and dreams of materialism to the realization of the Oneness of Spirit show forth in a babel of words and theories, a few of which I shall briefly consider, beginning with the yet popular belief in Evolu- tion:
The evolutionary concept has its starting point in the idea (a) that matter — so-called — is a something separate from mind, intelligence, or Spirit; (b) that this matter had a beginning; (c) that it contains within itself the desire to progress or improve; and, finally, that the race is progressing, becoming wiser, better, etc.
Against this assumption, I submit the proposition that the Universe — one verse — always existed without begin- ning or ending and is and always has been absolutely per- fect in all its varied manisfestations and operations.
A machine is no stronger than its weakest part. If the self-existing universe is weak or imperfect in any part, it must, of necessity, always have been so. Having all the knowledge there is — being all — it is unthinkable that there is any imperfection anywhere. Everything we see, feel, or taste, or in any manner sense, is perfect substance, con- densed or manifested from perfect elements, but all differ in their notes, vibrations, or modes or rates of motion. A serpent is as perfect, therefore as good, as a man. With- out feet, it outruns a man ; without hands, it outclimbs the ape, and has been a symbol of wisdom through all the ages. Man is an evil thing to the serpent's consciousness. Neither are evil — nor good. They are different expres- sions or variations of the "Play of the Infinite Will."
The brain of the jelly-fish is composed of the same ele- ments, of the same substance as the brain of a man, merely of a different combination. Can man tell what the jelly- fish is thinking, or why it moves and manifests its energy thus or so? How, then, is man wiser than the jelly-fish because his thoughts are of a different nature and operate to different ends?
[26]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
Wisdom — all there is — simply operates, manifests, ex- presses forms, or creates them, of, self-existing sub- stance. As wisdom is without beginning or end, so are all its operations or manifestations without beginning or end.
Modern man is now taking his first lessons in con- densing or materializing air, while through unnumbered ages the spider has performed the miracle without the necessity of first attending a school of chemistry. The modus operandi by which the spider forms his web from air is the despair of science. The wisdom of the ant or beaver strikes dumb all the believers in the Darwinian dream. The perfect co-operative commonwealth of the bees is still the unattained ideal of man.
Beneath the soil upon which falls the shadow of the throne of Menelik, the Abyssinian King, are layers and strata of buried civilizations, and astronomers in China mapped the Heavens, named the stars, calculated the eclipses and the return of comets ages before Moses led the Hebrews out of bondage, or the walls of Baalbeck cast a shade for the Arab and his camel.
The evidences and witnesses of the wisdom of men on earth hundreds of thousands of years ago confront the scientific investigator at every turn. Here the Rosseta Stone, and there the Inscribed Cylinder of Arioch or Statue of Gudea, King of Chaldea. Prophecies, inscribed on Cunieform tablets of Clay, foretelling the building of the Pyramids, are brought to light by the excavator ; and the history of the Chinese Empire, running back in links of an unbroken chain for one hundred and fifty thousand years, forever refute the theory of the "Descent of Man !" Side by side with the anscient Asiatics, who knew all that we today know, dwelt the Crystal, the Cell, the Jelly-fish, the Saurian, the Ape and the Cave-Man. Side by side with the masons, who could build arches of stone in ancient Yucatan that mock at the ravages of Time, lived and wrought the ant, operating in its co-operative common- wealth of which man can still only dream. Side by side with the cave men and cannibals dwells the spider, whose operation in aerial elements is the despair of chemical

investigators. And when Solomon's golden-spired temple illuminated the Holy City, or the tower of Babel grew toward the clouds, or the Mound Builders recorded their history in rock and soil, the eagle and the dove calmly floated in the air and wondered when men would evolve to their plane of science. They are wondering still.
Exponents of the evolutionary theory never tire in quot- ing Professor Huxley. One who has not read the writings of this eminent scientist would be led to believe by the statements of his followers that he had positive views on the great question of force and matter. Following is an extract from a letter written by Professor Huxley to Charles Kingsley, under date of May 22nd, 1863, taken from the published letters of Huxley by his son, Leonard:
"I don't know whether Matter is anything distinct from Force. I don't know that atoms are anything but pure myths — 'Cogito ergo sum' is to my mind a ridiculous piece of bad logic, all I can say at any time being 'Cogito.' The Latin form I hold to be preferable to the English 'I think,' because the latter asserts the existence of an Ego — about which the bundle of phenomena at present address- ing you knows nothing. I believe in Hamilton, Mansell and Herbert Spencer, so long as they are destructive, and laugh at their beards as soon as they try to spin their own cobwebs."
"Is this basis of ignorance broad enough for you? If you, theologian, can find as firm footing as 1, man of science, do on this foundation of minus naught — there will be naught to fear for our ever diverging. For you see, I am quite as ready to admit your doctrine that souls secrete bodies as I am the opposite one that bodies secrete souls — simply because I deny the possibility of obtaining any evidence as to the truth or falsehood of either hypo- thesis. My fundamental axiom of speculative philosophy is that materialism and spiritualism are opposite poles of the same absurdity — the absurdity of imagining that we knew anything about either spirit or matter."
