"Who deems life not more yearful than the hours,
"Since first into this world he wept his way,
"Erreth much, may-be."
This subject has perhaps been as much thought on and less written on than any other known to man.
In Science and Health it is said: "If man did not exist before his material organization, he cannot exist after the body is disintegrated. If we live after death, and are immortal, we must have lived before birth." I do not understand this to be an affirmation of any of the current or past theories of pre-existence, and I have found in Science and Health no intimation concerning an embodied pre-existence.
