Divine nature appearing

So-called mineral, vegetable, and animal substances are no more contingent now on time or material struc- ture than they were when "the morning stars sang together." Mind made the "plant of the field before it was in the earth." The periods of spiritual ascension are the days and seasons of Mind's creation, in which beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness - yea, the divine nature - appear in man and the uni- verse never to disappear.
