absorb greater knowledge, and that
knowledge is transmitted from parent
to son and daughter, and the son or
daughter absorbs additional knowledge
as It traverses the years of infancy
and juvenility and in time passes the
accumulation on to it's own offspring.

as the Creator affords us opportunities
and the intelligence to grasp them.

due entirely to you. 1t is the divine
will that knowledge be unfolded by de'
grees, and you are but the instrument
of that will.
