BIBLE VERSES

CHILDREN OF MEN

A symbol of mental qualities through which the wisdom principle, or higher emotion, is realised.

"And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded." - Genesis xi. 5.

And the Divine nature responded to the cry from within the soul for knowledge. By devices (city and tower) of the lower mind, through sense of separateness, it is at first conceived that wisdom will be attained. The ideals arising in the mind conjoined to the processes of the lower planes give rise to the "children of men."
