Excerpt from Man's Origin, Destiny, and Duty Basing my arguments upon facts admitted by nearly all scientists, I have striven in this little volume to establish the following propositions: - (1) That, as regards man and all sentient animals, the soul (which I simply define as that which feels) and the body are different entities. (2) That the soul will survive the body and, by successive transformations, will continually develop upwards. (3) That a psychic universe exists containing numberless ascending orders of intelligent beings above the human; though these are imperceptible to man's senses in the present stage of his development.
