Excerpt from The Empire of the Mother Over the Character and Destiny of the Race
In considering Man and his Destiny, I view him in three states; (1) in that which intervenes between conception and birth, which I call his pre-natal state; (2) in that which intervenes between his birth and the death of his body, which I call his post-natal state; (3) and in that which begins at the death of the body, and never ends, which I call his disembodied state; or, his life within the veil.
The following pages relate to the first, or pre-natal state. Efforts, whose object is to secure to man a healthy and vigorous body, and a pure and noble soul, generally refer to man in his second or postnatal state. Religions generally look at man with reference to his third or disembodied state. Systems of Education, of Government, and Religion, have assumed that nothing can be done for human beings, to save them from physical disease and suffering, from vice and crime, and from tendencies to evil, previous to birth. Among Ministers of Religion, Legislators, and Rulers; among Poets and Orators, and those who, in all ages and nations, have been received as divinely commissioned and sent to secure to man a healthy body, a strong and comprehensive intellect, a pure and loving heart, a just and noble character, and a happy destiny, and to save the world, no regard has been paid to what is done, or might and must be done for man, for good or evil, before he is born.
