(Amory Howe) The Ascent of the Soul Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Thomas Hutchinson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Ascent of the Soul" by Amory H. Bradford is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. This work explores the journey and evolution of the human spirit, examining the stages of spiritual growth, the awakening of the soul, and its ultimate purpose. The author aims to illuminate the relationship between human existence and divine permanence, suggesting that there is a progression from animalistic behavior towards a greater spiritual fulfillment. At the start of the book, Bradford introduces his methodology for examining the soul's development, emphasizing a practical approach rather than a speculative one. He discusses the awakening to moral responsibility and the conflict inherent in the journey of the soul, echoing themes found in literary works such as "The Pilgrim's Progress" and "Faust." He articulates that the human condition involves a struggle against both external influences and internal weaknesses, and he suggests that suffering and challenges serve a vital role in fostering spiritual growth. Moreover, Bradford establishes a profound connection between personal struggles and the broader journey towards a divine purpose, setting an optimistic tone for the exploration ahead.
