Excerpt from The Philosophy of Existence: A Brief Narrative Showing the Principles and Laws Involved and Operating in the Universe
This work was commenced in 1874, and has, therefore, occupied eighteen years in its preparation. It grew out of an intense desire, on the part of the writer, to know the causes of all that was about him. This desire was largely aroused by the teaching of that beloved instructor, Prof. W. H. Venable, at Cincinnati, Ohio.
In 1879, while a resident of Kansas, I first learned of the inner meaning of the seven geometrical figures, through one Stephen Ogden. Through the disclosures of the Spirit of Truth, the perception was given to me, that the commonly known facts of science, grouped with reference to the requirements of the seven principles, which the geometrical characters symbolized, possessed a significance not apparent when that relationship was ignored, and, moreover, disclosed the laws of evolution. Through continued research, much study and thought, came a knowledge of the laws of: The origin of Being, the product of the middle life, Organic appropriation of external forces, and, The Return of all things to the source of being after middle life.
While in Massachusetts in 1888, on a November afternoon, I was borne, by the Spirit, to the portal of the heavens, and given a view of the absoluleism of Good (God). The disclosures of that occasion are too sacred for the printed page, were they utterable in human language, but their force and power has gone into these pages, and I trust may prove a pathway for other souls to travel over to the same knowledge.
The work has been divided, and subdivided, according to the subject, and as dictated by the Spirit. Much of its force lies in this system, and in the relationship of its corresponding parts. The various paragraphs have been numbered, and references to them, throughout the work, have been made by the use of these numbers.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's central theme is the nature of existence, covering the material world and its forces, as well as the development of life, mind and soul. The author synthesizes knowledge from multiple disciplines to develop a single grand story of how everything came to be, from the emergence of matter to the development of human beings, and even the existence of God. The book explores the dynamic relationship between spirit, matter, and form, arguing that these three principles are fundamental to understanding the history and evolution of the universe. It also delves into the principles of motion, extent, and separation, and how they govern the material realm, while the principles of affinity, consciousness, and rest govern the spiritual realm. Ultimately, the book argues that understanding these principles and their interplay is key to understanding our place in the universe and our relationship to the divine.
