scure  the  woman  and  deny  the  Triune  One.  He
will  sit  with  the  servants  in  the  hall  of  justice  and
deny  that  he  knows  the  Law  In  every  presence  of
the  divine  One  he  sits  "warming  himself,"  ever
warming  himself  at  the  magnetic  fires  of  life,
ignoring,  denying,  the  heatless  universal  fire  of  the
regeneration.  He  is  generative  and  positive  only,
upon  every  plane;  in  all  his  manifestations  he  will
claim  to  be  the  whole  physical  foundation.  In  deny-
ing the  One  Law  he  will  claim  to  be  Peter  and
Simon-bar- jona  as  well  as  Peter.  He  will  believe
himself  to  be  the  Man,  The  Woman,  and  the  Law,
the  triune  whole  representative  of  creation,  and  the
only  basic  form  of  government  and  revelation.  His
dominant  idea  will  be  generation.  A  birth  from
the  side  of  Peter  is  the  hope  of  the  world  and  the
one  hope  of  life  in  its  struggle  for  that  victory  of
Law  which  is  victory  over  death.  When  Peter
has  become  Simon-bar- jona  he  has  yielded  up  his
personal  body  to  recognize  the  One  Law  as  King
in  his  own  territory  and  the  territory  of  all.
