SYNOPSIS

Existence is eternal and continues in one eternal round.

The order of generation exists in all the different systems of planets and their inhabitants.

God is male and female; and love is the creative power in all things.

Adam and Eve are Gods of this world, and the only begotten of Eloheim on earth.

Birth and death are preparatory to existence here.

Pre-existent and death here enable us to pass on to the future celestial existence.

Birth and death is the celestial future, at least to those who are subject to this death, lead onward to the other probations.

Those who keep celestial laws become Gods by doing the works of God.

Knowledge obtained by experience, rightly used, is salvation to the individual.

This true knowledge of God convinces men they also are eternal.

Within the only begotten Son is contained the Godhead bodily.

Adam as God is the 1st is creator under his father: also as God the 2nd, is Son and the Redeemer; and as God the 3rd, is love the creative power, the witness which is one God, Father of Heaven and earth and the maker of them and the seas and the fountains of water, and all that in them are, all in the first man, male and female bodily, each can be called God.

Adam is our God, Christ is our God, and God is love and these three are one God, and there is but one God to us.
