This is the story of the experiences of the mythical Son of God, Hercules, who gives us a synthetic picture of the progress of the individual soul and the world soul from ignorance to wisdom, from material desire to spiritual achievement.

"There is dawning on the human consciousness a growing realisation of innate divinity and that humanity is in very truth made in the image of God….The idea of purpose and of plan is being grasped, and the entire attitude towards life is rapidly changing. Surely it should now be possible to gain such a synthetic picture of the progress of the soul from ignorance to wisdom, from material desire to spiritual achievement that the end may be visioned from the beginning and intelligent cooperation with soul purpose take the place of blind endeavor."

"The broom of God must sweep away the debris of the ages in order that the high ideals of brotherhood and unity may be incorporated into the very structure of our institutions, that the lives people lead may reflect the divine image that is indelibly imprinted in their essential being."

"Acceptance of imposed dogmas is now giving place to experiment, and a divine self-determination, based on a realised unity with the Life in which we live and move and have our being, is taking the place of credulity and superstition."
