Variations on Saraswati
"All that which seems destructive is but a phase in the process of constructive change. All that which is loosely called creation and annihilation is really transformation. That which seems new is but old matter, old thought, old spirit, old life, old hate, old evil, old errors, in new forms, new births of manifestation.
There are no contradictions in nature's laws. Harmony is the element that binds them all into one law- the Law of Evolution. Since there is no destruction of matter, energy, force, or principle, and no creation of this from what has not always existed "from the beginning", all is eternal, immortal. Hence, even the body of man in its elements, the spirit of life in its essence, the soul of man in its consciousness, are eternal and immortal. There must be a law of evolution- change- new form for the mind, character, personality, and soul of man, as there is for the body of man. Coincident with the progressive evolution of man's body in the ages of the past has been the progressive evolution of the soul of man.
Character is fate! Certainly, as we build our character in the now, we decree our fate in the future. The forcefulness Every experience in life, every incident consciously realized- and many of which we are unconscious, form a part of molding personality. We are not only now what we think, but we will become that which results from our thinking. We are dealing daily and hourly as we have sown. Each day we become, mentally, spiritually, and physically what we have made ourselves. Hence, we are forever working out our own salvation or damnation, independent of the subtle influences of heredity, and independent of any predestined course in life.
Man possesses the power to choose. Free will is a fundamental factor of his highly developed consciousness. But as he chooses, so must he abide. The responsibility rests with him. Man's life is an endless battle between urge and decision. Man is motivated by urge, he is free to decide and he becomes what he thereby decrees. Such is the principle, the true law of fatalism. The responsibility rests not in some blind law of chemical action and reaction, nor with a jealous, vengeful God" -H. Spencer Lewis
