And by this failure the earth was rent in
a fearful manner, its map considerably altered and Sageland and its
people wiped out of existence entirely.
"Many millions of Apemen who inhabited the balance of the globe at that
time must also have perished from the effects of the awful convulsion
which no doubt shook the earth to its core. And so it was, I presume,
the upset atmospheric conditions of the earth resulting from this
catastrophe, forty-two hundred and thirty years ago, that is responsible
for the legend by which the Apeman blames the Creator for sending a
flood to destroy the inhabitants of the world, good and bad alike.
"But notwithstanding his superior intellectuality the Sageman was far
from being infallible. He often made mistakes as he relentlessly
struggled along in search of knowledge. Natural Law teaches that the
main object of life is to absorb, concentrate and utilize intelligence.
Intelligence rules the universe. The Sageman considered it his duty to
first control himself, then the earth, and finally the universe. But he
became impatient, and wanted to explore the heavens before he had
assimilated all terrestrial life, and concentrated sufficient power to
insure success. He was anxious to control new worlds before he had put
his own into the best order. Had he waited until the Apeman and other
living particles could have reached the same state of intelligence as
himself, and then concentrated and utilized the combined mental strength
of the whole to solve the great problem, no doubt he would have been
more successful in his first attempt at universal navigation.
