The Unfoldment of Man

Book excerpt: A series of Ten Lessons that discusses the Mosaic account of creation, which marks a new order of man, the beginning of the unfoldment of the _Son of Man_ type. Ida Mingle, teacher and founder of the School of Livable Christianity, writes that before this time both man and nature were involved in the wrath of consciousness, so now they were to be subdued by _waters_ (tranquility of soul). God, acting with Himself, through His Creative Will, caused the light to arise and the darkness to descend into the depths. Man became the formative power, through the Jehovah God of Himself, and was given all power, mastery and dominion over the _living creatures_ (Ideas of consciousness). The study of these lessons reveals to the reader how consciousness (Man) unfolded. Since Man is to be given a new Genesis, beginning at the harvest period of this age, it is imperative that he come into illumination respecting himself.
