- **Part II** — The Spirit World (origin, nature, incarnation, disincarnation, spirit life)
- **Part III** — Moral Laws (divine law, worship, work, reproduction, conservation, destruction, society, progress, equality, liberty, justice, love, and charity)
- **Part IV** — Hopes and Consolations (earthly and future joys and sorrows)
