Hugh Lynn Cayce (E.C.'s older son) begins his article (1935) with a quotation from
the Bible:

Then God said, "let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over
the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon
the earth."  So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them (Genesis 1:26-27, KJV).

From above, it is important that we grasp clearly one idea.  Man was originally
created in the image of the Creator.  God was, and always will be, a Spiritual
Being.  When man first entered this plane, it was not in a physical form.  He entered as a soul, a spiritual entity, in which there was embedded a spark of
the Divine Fire.  It was man, not God who brought into existence the physical bodies in which the soul now lodges while on earth; it was man who gradually limited himself to the three-dimensional consciousness which is his present point
of perception.

God created the earth just as one may create a beautiful thought.  Each part, each
element sought only to magnify, glorify the Creator.  Peace and beauty reigned supreme in a harmonious expression of the Great Will.  To this sphere, this strata
of vibration, came one, Amilius, Son of the Most High, and with him came other souls, entities from other realms.  In perfect accord with the laws already set in motion by the Creator, these entities truly enjoyed a spiritual life in a realm in
which thought power controlled all things and the attributes of the soul found
normal expression. 

This was not the world which we see about us today; it was a world in attune with
the Supreme will. 

Amilius was endowed with a free will and the creative urge of the Father.  He began
to create companions, thought forms, patterned after the creatures given life by God.  These thought forms were projections from the soul mind.  As they began to
seek gratification of the senses, as did the physical creatures about them, they be-
gan to harden and seek physical forms through which to become more conscious of the activity of the physical senses.  We understand today that one actually be-
comes thaat which he holds continually as mental visions.  Incomplete and unbalanced, these resulting creations and mixtures brought discord and inharmony
The magnification of any desire which seeks only selfish gratification must eventually bring upon its creator anguish and final distruction.

The forms in the physical sense WERE OF THE NATURE OF THOUGHT FORMS, able to
push themselves out of themselves in that direction in which development took
shape in thought - much in the manner of the amoeba in the water of a stagnant
pool.
