It must be one so true in itself that it can be accepted by all men alike the world over. :
"Man is the individualised expression or reflection of God imaged forth and made manifest in bodily form."
The moment we fully and vitally realise who and what we are, we then begin to build our own world as God builds His:
"Let us start, then, with that in regard to which all can agree; something taken not from mere tradition, from mere hearsay, but something that comes to us from no source other than our own interior consciousness, our own reason and insight."
It is Being that projects itself into existence.:
"Being, acting through its own intelligence, prompted by Love, projected by Will, goes out and takes form. "
This Being which is Infinite is in truth, then, the Infinite Being, and this Infinite Being is what we mean by God:
"Only as Being projects itself into existence are we able to know it. We can know the fact that Being is, but only as it manifests itself in form are we able to know it itself."
“God is of too pure eyes to behold evil and cannot look upon iniquity,”:
"But though man has perfect freedom in all his thoughts and acts, God will suffer no such violation."
Man is the individualised expression or reflection of God imaged forth and made manifest in bodily form:
"We must in thought be conscious of who and what we are before the qualities and powers of our real being, and hence our real selves, actualise or even manifest themselves"
Happy, however, is the man who dwells not long as the purely natural man, but is early transformed into the spiritual, and so in whom the Divine Word early becomes incarnate:
"“Be ye therefore transformed by the renewing of your minds.” This is the force, the transforming power, so far as the form of life we denominate by the term human is concerned; this and this alone. True, then, and most welcome is the great fact of facts that the world is beginning to become so conscious of today that “The mind is everything; what you think, you become.”"
One day a link of the little chain opens, but, living so long in the consciousness that he is held in captivity, he makes no effort to escape.:
"The freedom of the heavens is now his, were he only conscious of his power. But day after day he sits sullenly longing for freedom but remaining a captive still. One morning, however, he ventures a little farther out on his perch than usual, when suddenly a strange consciousness is his — he sets his wings, and the captivity which has held him for months will perchance know him no more forever. And so it is with man. On account of the false gods that tradition and prevailing theology have brought him, he knows not himself, and not knowing himself he knows neither his powers nor his possibilities."
“O God, I am one with Thee!” :
"But the teaching that has come to us through past generations, which has as its dominant keynote, poor worm and miserable sinner, death and the grave, is as false as it is pernicious and therefore damnable in its influences"
In the beginning was the Word:
"And as this separation from God is made entirely through the instrumentality of the mind, he sees that making one's conscious connection again with God — the true and only true redemption — must also be made through the instrumentality of the mind"
The greatest thing ever known:
"Although the answer to our title has been given both in lines and between lines long before this, it may be an aid to us, especially in making practical what is to follow, to put it as best we can into a definite form"
“Behold, the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.” :
"Again, then, What is Life? Being is Life. Life is Being. Being, therefore, is our starting-point, and indeed our very foundation itself."
Through this the qualities and powers of the Divine Life are more and more realised and actualised, and through their leading we are led into the possession of all other things.:
"Those who come into this full and living realisation of oneness with the Divine Life are brought at once into right relations with themselves, with their fellow-man, and with the laws of the universe about them"
And if the will of God is done in the inward life, then is it necessarily done in all things of the outward life, and the results are always manifest:
"The Divine Being changes not; it is man alone who changes. "
One who lives continually under this Divine guidance enters thereby into the realm of the highest wisdom:
"They have neither fears nor forebodings in regard to the future, for they know that contrary to God's will, (which is now their will), nothing can ever come to pass. Peace, therefore, a full and abiding peace, is continually theirs."
as i think, i grow as i grow i think, i grow as i think:
"And so as you enter into this new life you find that all things of the outer life fall into line; for as is the inner, so always and necessarily is the outer."
I and my father are one:
"They are likewise the real essential spirit of all the great religions of the world, and as all religions in their purity are from the same source, — God speaking through the mind"
They are leaving the old one-day-in-seven, some-otherworld religion, and they are finding the joys as well as the practicability of an everyday, this-world religion.:
"They are waking here and there and everywhere to the realisation of their oneness with the living God. Their lives are being completely filled with this realisation, and as a consequence they are showing forth the works of God"
Having found the pearl, the shell for them must perish; or rather:
"Centred thus in the Infinite, and working now in conscious harmony with Divine forces, they ever after rule the world from within"
one universally regarded as one of the most highly illumined teachers, if not the most highly illumined, the world has ever known, the Christ Jesus;:
"In considering the life and teachings of Jesus, let us consider them not as dull expositors interpret and represent them, but as He Himself gave them to the world. Certainly Jesus was Divine; but He was Divine, as He himself clearly taught, in just the same sense that you and I and every human soul is essentially Divine."
The Master's Great But Lost Gift:
"That He plainly and unequivocally taught His disciples that this was His mission is evidenced by numerous sentences such as the following, occurring all through the gospels: Matt. 4:23, “Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,” etc"
“If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know Him and have seen Him not:
"In order to give forth the spiritual teachings which He gave, He had to use the language and the illustrations that their material minds could grasp, and in this way make His teachings doubly liable to a purely material interpretation."
“I am the bread of life,”:
"“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.” "

"So in a sense Life, which is one with being, is the soul, and form, of whatever nature the body. Only as Being projects itself into existence are we able to know it. We can know the fact that Being is, but only as it manifests itself in form are we able to know it itself."
Insight:
"If God is all, then all must be He, and from this fact there is no escape, and no other conclusion can be arrived at which does not do violence to all rational thought."
Insight:
"For in the exact proportion that the interior perception comes will the outer life and conduct accord with it so far, and no further."
Insight:
"And God said, Let there be, and there was, -- the material world, at least the material manifestation of it, literally spoken into existence, the spoken word, however, but the outward manifestation of the interior forces of the Supreme Intelligence."
Insight:
"If you are particularly desirous for anything that you feel it is good and right for you to have, something that will broaden your life or that will increase your usefulness to others, simply hold the thought that at the right time, in the right way, and through the right instrumentality, there will come to you or there will open up for you the way whereby you can attain what you desire."
Insight:
"By realizing his oneness with the Infinite Power, and by living continually in this realization."
Insight:
"Then it is that 'Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee.' The great secret of life and power, then, is to make and to keep one's conscious connection with this Infinite Source."
Insight:
"And thus it is that today people can become prophets, seers, and saviours, for the laws of the Divine Life and the relations of what we term the human life to it are identically the same today as they have been in all time past and will be in all time to come."
Insight:
"He lives in the realization of this oneness, and in turn becomes a prophet, seer, sage, or saviour."
And what does this mean?
"It means simply this: that we are recognizing our true identity, that we are bringing our lives into harmony with the same great laws and forces, and so opening ourselves to the same great inspirations, as have all the prophets, seers, sages, and saviors in the world's history, all men of truly great and mighty power. For in the degree that we come into this realization and connect ourselves with this Infinite Source, do we make it possible for the higher powers to play, to work, to manifest through us."
Insight:
"The time will come when it will be seen that this means far more than most people dare even to think as yet. 'It rests with man to say whether his soul shall be housed in a stately mansion of ever-growing splendour and beauty, or in a hovel of his own building -a hovel at last ruined and abandoned to decay.'"
Insight:
"They are passing out of the religion of death and possible glory hereafter into the religion of life and joy and glory here and now, today and everyday, as well as hereafter and forevermore."
Insight:
"Hence He could not say otherwise than that He and the Father were one."
Insight:
"It was not to establish any material institution, as the church, that Jesus made His mission, but that the kingdom of God and His righteousness should become actualised and hold sway in the minds and hearts of men — this was His mission, an entirely different thing from the founding of a material organisation."
Insight:
"The lower negative always gives way to the higher when made positive. Mind is positive: matter is negative."
Insight:
"In the degree that we open ourselves to the inflowing tide of this immanent and transcendent life, do we make ourselves channels through which the Infinite Intelligence and Power can work."

With Whittier he sings:
"I know not where His islands lift

Beyond His love and care."
Insight:
"It means comparative vigour combined with continually larger experience, and therefore even more usefulness, and hence pleasure and happiness."
Insight:
"In the degree that thought is spiritualized does it become more subtle and powerful in its workings. This spiritualizing is in accordance with law and is within the power of all."
Insight:
"We are then led into the full realization of the fact that all things work together for good to those that love the good."
Insight:
"To realize this fact fully, and to live in it consciously at all times, is to find the kingdom of God, which is essentially an inner kingdom, and can never be anything else."
Insight:
"The great trouble with us is that we do not listen to and do not follow this voice within our own souls, and so we become as a house divided against itself."
Insight:
"that the springs of life are all from within, that as is the inner so always and inevitably will be the outer."
Years ago, shortly after this book was written, I used on the title page of a little book, as a sort of keynote, the sentence:
"The moment we fully and vitally realize who and what we are, we then begin to build our own world even as God builds His."
Insight:
"There is moreover, no quality that when genuine brings such rich returns to its possessor by virtue of the thoughts and the feelings that it inspires and calls forth from others and that come back laden with their peaceful, stimulating, healthful influences for you."
Here is the secret philosophy of the cures effected by Jesus Christ:
"There is a law of the action of mind on the body that is no more an impenetrable mystery than the law of gravitation. It can be understood and acted upon in the cure of disease as well as any other law of nature."
Insight:
"In other words, the thought forces, the various mental states and the emotions, all have in time their effects upon the physical body."
Insight:
"Without a large consciousness of the universe beyond our knowledge, few men, if any, have done great things."
Insight:
"Spiritual supremacy and illumination, thus realized through the development and perfection of intuition under divine inspiration, gives the perfect inner vision and direct insight into the character, properties, and purpose of all things to which the attention and interest are directed....."

Many will receive great help, and many will be entirely healed by a practice somewhat after the following nature: With a mind at peace, and with a heart going out in love to all, go into the quiet of your own interior self, holding the thought:
"I am one with the Infinite Spirit of Life, the life of my life. I then as spirit, a spiritual being, can in my own real nature admit of no disease. I now open my body, in which disease has got a foothold, I open it fully to the inflowing tide of this Infinite Life, and it now, even now, is pouring in and coursing through my body, and the healing process is going on."
