Excerpt from The Portal of Evolution: Being a Glace Through the Open Portal of Evolution at Some of the Mysteries of Nature I wish it to be thoroughly understood that the object of this treatise is not to weaken anyone's faith in their own religion, but rather to turn their own and every other religion, to a better use, and gain a more practical understanding of its true significance, and every religion that ever has been or will be, must be and is a ladder that should help us to climb to immortal life up the spiritual path of evolution, thought, love, and wisdom, and to get nearer to God and Heaven.
