>8 RELIGION OF THE SOUL A WE BY vinity, by virtue of which all forces of spiritual life are attracted, blessed and saved from destruction. Thus in the holiest love of God we see the three most tangible manifestations of God, relatively to our own life, with expressions and names universally invoked by the positive spirit of all religious traditions and aspirations, namely, God as our holy Father, Lord and Saviour. The name of “Fatherhood” means sacrifice, the might of giving and solicitude. The name “Lord” conveys justice, the sole means of dominion and authority. And the name “Saviour” means the beati- fying might of goodness, which imparts itself to the worthy and unworthy with equal readiness, how- ever varied be its might of distribution. Goodness follows justice as justice follows love, the sacrificial focus and momentum of holy life. From these Divine attributes flows the formal superspiritual reflex of the mights and life of God. This living reflex of Divinity we call conscience, as it is in itself, which constitutes the superspiritual ground of our spiritual soul. The soul is not only urged, guided and blessed by the superspiritual might of conscience, but the very soul's forces are so formed as to correspond with conscience.
