Master, not slave One philosopher has defined life as adaptation to environment. He said that anything that was alive would try to survive by adapting itself to the conditions in which it had to live. There is of course a great deal of truth in this view.

This is the vital distinction between materialism and spiritual Truth. You have within you the divine Spark-the Indwelling Christ--and by awakening and developing this, your spiritual nature, you can mold conditions to fit your needs.
