HAND OF EVERY BEAST AND MANSymbolic of self-directed activities of the desires and of the mental qualities "And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man" - GENESIS ix 5 And the life (blood) being now ensouled in forms, operates through the law of cause and effect, so that every form that it energises is the means of reproducing certain effects upon the various planes of its manifestation. "At the hand of every beast" signifies that the lower desires are not exempt from the law of progress of the Causative Power at work within. "At the hand of man etc" is meant, that the mind upon its own plane is held accountable ethically, not only for its individual conduct, but for that of the human race which is inseparably connected with its individual expression "You know what you know and do what you do, in order that the whole race may reap the benefit hereafter. You are just one point through which God is pouring himself. This accounts for all our differences of whatever kind they be. We live for one another, suffer for one another, achieve for one another, and all of us for God" - R J CAMPBELL Serm Solidarity of Spiritual Experience |
