2. Что такое «любовь к богу», как не усиленное стремление внести в свое существование наивысшую творческую энергию. Божественная творческая сила заключается во всем, но величайшее ее проявление в этом мире — в человеке; для того же, чтоб она действовала, человек должен признавать ее.
Не признавая того, что он может творить наилучшее, человек неизбежно творит наихудшее.
2. What is “love of God” but an intense striving to bring the highest creative energy into one’s existence. The divine creative power is contained in everything, but its greatest manifestation in this world is in man; and for it to act, man must acknowledge it.
Failing to acknowledge that he can create the best, man inevitably creates the worst.
From “World’s Advance Thought”.

From “World’s Advance Thought”’s own wordsWhat is "the love of God" but the effort to bring uppermost in one's being the best creative energies, for man is a creator, or rather an originator, on the physical plane of life.
The Divine Creative Power is involved in all things, but has its highest expression on this earth, in man, but in order idr it to operate he must recognize it, and by his denial that he can create the best and the noblest, he must of necessity create the worst and the meanest.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. The World's Advance-Thought and the Universal Republic (Lucy A. Mallory's journal, Portland, Oregon), vol. XVI, no. 8, September 1904, p. 117, an unsigned paragraph after the piece 'Obsession'.
Shortened. Tolstoy leaves out 'for man is a creator, or rather an originator, on the physical plane of life', and gives each of the journal's pairs as one word: 'the best and the noblest' becomes 'the best', 'the worst and the meanest' 'the worst'. 'The effort to bring uppermost in one's being the best creative energies' becomes 'an intensified striving to bring into one's existence the highest creative energy'. Tolstoy sets the last clause apart, in italics, as a maxim: 'Not recognizing that he can create the best, man inevitably creates the worst.' The paragraph is unsigned, among the journal's own; the Jubilee commentary says that the Circle's thoughts from this journal are signed either «Люси Малори» or «Из «Передовой мысли мира»». The saved text is the text layer of IAPSOP's PDF ('idr' is its misreading of 'for'); January's trace of 1-11.3 uses a second extraction of the same PDF (the _pdftotext-raw file). No printable.
Translation note. «Передовая мысль мира» is Tolstoy’s Russian for World’s Advance Thought, Lucy Mallory’s journal, published in Portland, Oregon.
5. Первое, чему человек должен научиться раньше, чем он может успевать на пути к счастью, это — смирение. Надменность, властность и тщеславие должны уступить место кротости и мягкости. Надменность ничего не может приобрести, так как предполагает, что уже всё имеет.
5. The first thing a man must learn before he can make progress on the path to happiness is humility. Arrogance, imperiousness, and vanity must give way to meekness and gentleness. Arrogance can acquire nothing, since it supposes that it already has everything.

From The World's Advance-Thought and the Universal Republic · reworded by Tolstoy (more).
What changed“Arrogance cannot receive, for it assumes to know it all” becomes “Arrogance can acquire nothing, since it supposes that it already has everything”: knowing becomes having; “in spiritual unfoldment” and “permanent” drop out.
From “World’s Advance Thought”’s own wordsThe first lesson in spiritual unfoldment that the individual has to learn before he can progress on the road to permanent Happiness is humility.
The arrogant, domineering, vanity must give place to meekness and gentleness.
Arrogance cannot receive, for it assumes to know it all.

Reworded. 'The first lesson in spiritual unfoldment that the individual has to learn before he can progress on the road to permanent Happiness is humility' becomes 'The first thing a person must learn before he can make progress on the way to happiness is humility' (Первое, чему человек должен научиться раньше, чем он может успевать на пути к счастью, это — смирение): 'in spiritual unfoldment' and 'permanent' are left out. 'The arrogant, domineering, vanity must give place to meekness and gentleness' is kept (Надменность, властность и тщеславие должны уступить место кротости и мягкости). The last sentence is changed: 'Arrogance cannot receive, for it assumes to know it all' becomes 'Arrogance can acquire nothing, since it supposes that it already has everything' (Надменность ничего не может приобрести, так как предполагает, что уже всё имеет): 'to know it all' becomes 'already has everything'. Tolstoy sets that sentence in italics. The paragraph is unsigned, which agrees with the Jubilee list of the Circle's sources: thoughts from the journal are signed either with Mallory's name or «Из «Передовой мысли мира»». The same issue gave April's 4-25.2, also signed «Из «Передовой мысли мира»». No printable.
Translation note. The Russian italic is broken only at the commas; it is set here as one span.
7. Истинное дело человека на земле в том, чтобы держать свое существо в согласии с вечным; тогда только всемогущая сила любви и разума может изливаться через него, как через чистый канал.
7. The true work of man on earth is to keep his being in harmony with the eternal; only then can the almighty power of love and reason pour out through him, as through a clean channel.

What changedKeeping one’s being “in tune with the Infinite” becomes keeping it “in harmony with the eternal,” “Love and Wisdom” become “love and reason,” and “then” becomes “only then,” so the harmony becomes the one condition.
From “World’s Advance Thought”’s own wordsThe real work of the individual on earth is to keep his being in tune with the Infinite-- to keep it at peace with himself and all lifethen the almighty power of Love and Wisdom can flow through him as a pure channel of Deiflc expression.

XVI, no. 8, September 1904, p. 122, in the editor's section 'The Universal Republic', a column of unsigned paragraphs.
Shortened and reworded. 'The real work of the individual on earth is to keep his being in tune with the Infinite' becomes 'The true work of man on earth is to keep his being in harmony with the eternal' (в согласии с вечным); 'to keep it at peace with himself and all life' is left out; 'then the almighty power of Love and Wisdom can flow through him as a pure channel of Deific expression' becomes 'then only can the almighty power of love and reason pour through him, as through a pure channel': 'only' is added, Wisdom becomes reason (разума), and 'of Deific expression' is left out (the scan reads 'Deiflc', and runs 'life' and 'then' together). The column is unsigned; it stands in the section Mallory edited, three pages after the paragraph Tolstoy took for 7-1.6. No printable, for the cuts and changes.
2. Те, кто на вершине горы, видят восход солнца раньше обитателей равнин. То же и с теми, кто находится на духовных высотах: они видят небесный восход солнца раньше живущих плотской жизнью. Но приходит время, и солнце подымается настолько, что становится видимо и всем.
2. Those who are on the top of a mountain see the sunrise before the dwellers of the plains. So it is with those who are on spiritual heights: they see the heavenly sunrise before those who live a fleshly life. But the time comes, and the sun rises so high that it becomes visible to all as well.

What changed“The dwellers in the valleys of materialism” become “those who live a fleshly life,” so a doctrine becomes a way of living, and “it must soon be high enough for all to see” becomes “the time comes, and the sun rises so high that it becomes visible to all,” without “must soon.”
From “World’s Advance Thought”’s own wordsThose on the mountain tops always see the sunrise before the dwellers In the valley see it.
… they see the Celestial sunrise before the dwellers in the valleys of materialism; but it must soon be high enough for all to see.

XVI, no. 8, September 1904, p. 120, right-hand column: an unsigned paragraph set between printed rules, below the close of Genevra Lake's 'Life-Lines'.
An unsigned paragraph of the September 1904 number, from which July's 7-1.6 and 7-1.7 and April's 4-25.2 also came. The page image (archive.org, IAPSOP scan of vol. XVI, leaf n87) shows Genevra Lake's 'Life-Lines' ending in the right-hand column with 'crystalized', then a rule, and this paragraph between rules among three others, so it is not part of her article; the journal's own note says unsigned articles are the editor's (June's 6-5.4). Tolstoy's signature names the journal and is right. Changed in wording: 'the dwellers in the valley' become 'the inhabitants of the plains' (обитателей равнин); 'the seer on the heights of spirituality' (the scan's second sentence, cut here at a broken word) becomes 'those who are on spiritual heights'; 'the dwellers in the valleys of materialism' become 'those who live the carnal life' (живущих плотской жизнью), so a doctrine, materialism, becomes the life of the flesh; 'but it must soon be high enough for all to see' becomes a third sentence, 'But the time comes, and the sun rises so high that it becomes visible to all', without the journal's 'must soon'. 'always' is left out. No printable, for these changes.
3. «Потерять душу» не значит быть обреченным к бесконечному церковному аду, но значит затеряться в чаще страстей и, заблудившись, вертеться в узком круге себялюбивых мыслей, как заблудшийся в лесу кружится на одном месте.
3. “To lose one’s soul” does not mean to be condemned to the church’s endless hell, but means to get lost in a thicket of passions and, having strayed, to go round and round in a narrow circle of self-loving thoughts, as one who has strayed in a forest circles on one spot.

From “World’s Advance Thought”’s own words“To lose one’s soul’’ is not to be doomed to an endless orthodox hell, but it is to be lost in the jungle of one’s passions, and to walk around lost in the narrow circle of one’s selfish ideas; just as one walks in a circle who is lost in the woods.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. The World's Advance-Thought and the Universal Republic (ed. Lucy A. Mallory, Portland, Oregon), vol. XVI, no. 8, September 1904, p. 120, among the unsigned paragraphs set between rules after the close of Genevra Lake's 'Life-Lines', next after the paragraph of 8-30.2.
Close, from the same number and page as August's 8-30.2 ('Those on the mountain tops'), the paragraph that follows it; Tolstoy's signature names the journal, and the paragraph is unsigned, so it stands. The journal had printed both paragraphs before, among the editor's paragraphs of January 1892 (Edition), in the other order and with 'loose' for 'lose'; the Jubilee list gives Tolstoy's run of the journal as 1894–1904, so he read the reprint of 1904. 'An endless orthodox hell' becomes 'an endless church hell' (бесконечному церковному аду), the plain Russian for the orthodoxy of the churches; 'the jungle of one's passions' becomes 'the thicket of the passions' (чаще страстей); 'to walk around lost in the narrow circle of one's selfish ideas' becomes 'having lost one's way, to turn round in the narrow circle of selfish thoughts'; 'just as one walks in a circle who is lost in the woods' becomes 'as one lost in a forest circles on one spot'. Faithful to the English: printable offered; a reviewer may judge 'orthodox' made 'church' (церковному) enough to keep Tolstoy's version.
