EXPRESSING MANHOOD

RALPH CASTLE

Manhood , humanly speaking, is a state to be attained by the passing of time. We speak of one who has arrived at years of discretion, or who has shown evidence of possessing dependable qualities of character, as manly. To reach this maturity, according to mortal belief, the human being must go through the process of growing. Commencing this experience as a helpless infant, he must gradually, often painfully, grow up.

Spiritually perceived, however, manhood relates to the expression of Godlike, or spiritual, qualities and the exercise of dominion over material conditions through spiritual understanding. Growth in God-likeness does not relate either to years or to gender.
