Über dieses Buch
The Goal of Life by Hiram Butler - This book is Butler's description of the entire spiritual evolution of humanity. Based on a mystical vision of Christianity, Butler thought that an invisible 'Order of Melchisedek', 288, 000 strong (144, 000 male-female couples) would eventually be able to transcend the limitations of physical reality and become as 'Elohim', the plural components of God. He also brings into the mix other parts of his world-view, including his simplified version of Astrology, and many ideas similar to those promoted by New Thought.The facts in nature are the foundation out of which all consciousness and knowledge grow. Science is the outgrowth of these facts through careful investigation and study. Revelation is facts derived from the inner-consciousness-intuition-which is allied to the cause-world and is cognizant of the mind from which it originated, or from messengers (angels) from God.Revelation united with science gives a substantial foundation for philosophy and theology, which are the proper outgrowth of science and revelation.
