Will, human will, is the result of concrete perceptions of the
conscious mind. Its development depends upon the experiences of the
individual soul, and its expression upon the environment, the
education, and spiritual discipline of the individual. Having its
foundation in the functions necessary to the sustainment of the mortal
life of man, it naturally overrides all considerations outside of the
objects of its own pursuit. It is the quality _par excellence_, the
power of the gods, but only as it comes to relinquish all its selfish
determinations, and yield obedience to the all-pervading Higher Will,
the will of God, in whom all life has its source and continuance of
being can it march along the royal highway that leads to perfection.
This must be so eternally; for there can be no division of purpose or
of interest in the divine Mind.

All religions based upon or derived from sorceries obstruct the
progress of the race, and will be, in the fullness of time,
disintegrated and readjusted to meet the growing demands of humanity.
