We as human beings might just as well face it.... we are "angels in the forms of apes"!
Two Orders of Animate Spirit
We have two orders of animate spirit, in other words, when considering the human as compared to the simian (anthropoid apes). In the human there is the Higher Essence that came here a-visiting and remained here to sublimate the indigenous primate organism into the half-monkey and half-angel that we call the human race today. In the ape pattern we have the indigenous pattern of biologic consciousness still going its hetic way to what "improvement" it can develop with the star-guest mortal in supervising competition with it. Hmmm... it is something to think about.
Today we have human beings procreating human beings from these sublimated monkey-organisms, just so long as the parents are human. And we have the ape-forms always and forever procreating apes just so long as the parents are primate. Something distinctive transfers in every case of conception as between the forms so that they never mix up. But what is it??
Angels And Apes
We as human beings -- we might as well face it -- are "angels in the forms of apes" and we keep on breeding our progeny as little angels in forms of little apes. But the ape goes on breeding apes to the seventieth generation. Darwin and his fellow biologists sought to establish a "missing link" between the two forms, and from time to time various evolutionary scientists all over the world have raucously proclaimed that by turning up a bit of bone in China or Java they have discovered the connection. But what they have discovered is merely the physical attachment between the primate and the star-guest, as the latter brought the primate up toward the organically sublimated. And marvel though we will, that hypothesis makes sense.
Encased In Bodies
The origins of our species are probably of academic interest only. What difference does it make to us as individuals whether we descended from star-guests or antediluvian Chinamen? But in our practical problems of incarnation and reincarnation, the lore is of stupendous interest to us. We are "Angel-apes" trying to get out of the inhibitions of the animalistic and climb upward and onward to our waiting celestiality, but the experience nonetheless does hold profit for us.
We are, apparently, Star Guests on this planet who find ourselves encased in bodies of primates in order to learn something spiritually ennobling. That we have been here for aeons and will undoubtedly be here for aeons longer, is nothing in point of cosmic time.
What is Time in eternity? The real issue is, by giving a tuppence of credit to the theory, we have a stupendous lot made clear to us that only yesterday was black enigma. At least we are lifted out of the category of beings made conscious by chemical affinities. We are lifted from the category of beings who simply perish. We live over and over and over, apparently, in successive ape-sublimates, and gradually pass off to ineffable states of spirit in extenuation of the consciousness apparently begun in some solar system outside our computing. And it is all part of the growth we get for godhood.
Residents of Cosmos
Our spirits are eternal and non-perishable! We are residents of all Cosmos, apparently. We dwell at present upon this planet Earth. What planet we may have come from originally is immaterial, since its location can only be marked by the position of all the other planets, hanging in a void, and outside of which there is no means of determining location.
But there are certain Earth Forms evolving upward upon this earth planet, indigenous to this particular terrestrial ball as the evolutionanry scientists proclaim. But what the evolutioary scientists do not know is, that somewhere back fifty to thirty million years ago, there came a great migration of alien spirits to this planet from some other world in interstellar space, who settled down here and began to cohabit with the animal forms it discovered developing here, producing a hybrid race of beings, half-celestial and half-bestial that gave us the unspeakable Sodomic period described in the Bible.
The Time Element
The trouble with the Bible is, that the time-element recorded is all wrong. The ancient authors of the Bible, having some psychic inkling of what happened but supposing that this Earth-Planet was the center of the Universe, tried to fit the events attending upon the Great Migration into the time-calendar of the past four thousand years. Actually, the time cosumed or covered was millions of years. The ancient Hebrews were trying to apply these celestial occurrences to the history of their particular race, and they took liberties with Time, striving to compress it down into reasonably acceptable terms of the last few thousand years.
A Bastard Creation
These superior beings from another celestial planet, cohabiting with the earth-forms of life they discovered here on their arrival, began to fill up the earth with a race of monsters that were neither bestial, human or divine. The result was a confusion that almost defeated the original plans of creation. Beast forms and celestial forms were fused together in an insufferable bastard creation from which certain specimens of the two creations are evincing even still.
