The spiritual alchemist conceives the universe to be an immense organic structure, or cosmic man. They perceive that individual souls are evolving from lower to higher states, and entering into rapport with the whole cosmic scheme. They apprehend...that the universe also is evolving and eternally unfolding its infinite possibilities of expression.
In tune with the pulsating heart of nature, an inner conviction floods their consciousness that every immortal soul plays a part and has its function in this glorious scheme of creation. It is a living conscious cell within the body of Infinite Man...Thus the ineffable plan unfolds.
Each immortal soul perpetually expands the domain of its consciousness and continually increases the power of its control over environment. The separate evolving units thread together to give more complex expression to universal consciousness and power. As a human becomes stronger when the separate cells of it's body gain in vigor, so the expansion in power and more complete cooperation of souls, lend increase of consciousness and power to the Cosmic Man.
