When established religions no longer reflect the pure light which their prophet originally received and radiated to his followers, and reflect only its discolourations by men's own mental creations, then the operation of the cyclic law of evolution begins to bring new prophets into incarnation. They will either purify the old corrupted religions or else establish new ones.
