The mind or the intelligence which man possesses is co-equal [co-eternal] with God Himself … I am dwelling on the immortality of the spirit of man. Is it logical to say that the intelligence of spirits is immortal and yet that it had a beginning? The intelligence of spirits had no beginning, neither will it have an end. That is good logic. That which has a beginning may have an end. There never was a time when there were not spirits [intelligences]; for they are co-equal [co-eternal] with our Father in heaven … Intelligence is eternal and exists upon a self-existent principle. It is a spirit from age to age, and there is no creation about.
