Enlightenment 7:27
27 Know, therefore, that God shall grant unto the children of men the knowledge of good and evil, that by such oppositions as they might see, some greater wisdom might yet be found; unto these then shall the power be given to fashion unto themselves a living soul, being beyond death but immortal and filled with endless hope.
Enlightenment 5:42-46
42 “...Thus in the coming forth of both good and evil there shall spring up in the mind of man the sounding echo of something deeper still, which as an epiphenomenon in the heart of man will cause that many should seek after spiritual things.
43 For even as a child is given shape and life through the coming together of opposites, being in the man and the woman bound, even so is the soul of man given shape and life also by the coming together of good and evil.
44 And as a child drawn freshly from the womb is made to live and breathe in the midst of great travail, so in like manner is the soul of man drawn forth from the midst of adversity.
45 And though the soul of man in its beginning prove weak and frail, yet shall I set forth the way wherein the soul, in strength, might grow, that I might draw it forth unto me.
46 Who then shall I send unto the world of the First Power to set forth the whole of my design, to make way for the coming of the soul of man, and to increase forever the glory of Heaven?”
Who then shall I send unto the world of the First Power
to set forth the whole of my design,
to make way for the coming of the soul of man,
and to increase forever the glory of Heaven?
