It is about time that man should know there is no such thing as secret knowledge. There are instead secret interests that are not confessable, and on account of them truth has been distorted.
Unfortunately in a age of high technological advancement, the deistic, godlike worshipping concept is still deep-rooted in many spirits.
The Spirit is Force, Intelligence, Power, with capital letters. All without exception, are subject to the same principles, to the same rules, to the same evolutionary process. There are no privileged spirits, such as the would-be gods and their imaginary sons.
The principles of evolution are tied-in to the rule of natural and immutable laws which are absolutely equal to all. All invariably follow the same course and travel the same cycle, and in this there is a high and laudable principle of justice.
Those who still pay homage to an abstract god will realise, after as many incarnations as are needed to reach the necessary enlightenment, that such dogma is irrational. It is just as improbable as the idea, also entertained by civilised men of the past, of worshipping gods represented by the natural elements or by animals of inferior species.
To many people god is an entity that promotes punishment, distributes mercies, and convicts or acquits either on an eternal or temporary basis.
On the other hand, the principles advocated by scientific spiritualism, having in mind no other idea, intention, or interest but to awaken humanity to the reality of life, proposes to give man the knowledge he needs to overcome spiritual unawareness which is damaging and harmful to his evolution.
Scientific spiritualism which in our opinion is mostly represented by Christian Rationalism, is a school of spiritualization, not a religion, and it has neither gods nor worshippers.
