Reason declares that that Which is Infinite cannot be divided against Itself. The Infinite is, therefore indivisible and consequently a Perfect Unit. "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One Lord." It is also "That Whose Center is everywhere and Whose Circumference is nowhere."

All of It is present at any and every point within Itself. It is not approaching a point nor receding from it, but is always at the point. The whole of God is present at any and every point within God. It was to this Indwelling Spirit that Jesus prayed, for God is within man as well as throughout all creation. It is "That thread of the All-Sustaining beauty which runs through all and doth all unite." "His lines have gone out into all places." "There is no place where God is not."

This concept enabled Job to say, "In my flesh shall I see God." All life is bound together by One common Law of Love, and Love is the Self-Givingness of Spirit. It was the realization of this One Presence which illumined the saints and sages of the past. "I and the Father are One." "The Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works." We must come to sense this marvelous Presence, for this is the secret of successful metaphysical work: God in all and through all.

All manifestation of Life is from an invisible to a visible plane, through a silent, effortless process of spiritual realization. WE MUST UNIFY IN OUR OWN MENTALITIES WITH PURE SPIRIT. To each of us, individually, God or Spirit is the Supreme Personality of the Universe-the Supreme Personality of that which we, ourselves, are. It is only as the relationship of the individual to the Deity becomes enlarged that one has a consciousness of power.

The teaching of the mystics has been that there should be conscious courting of the Divine Presence. There should be a conscious receptivity to It, but a balanced one. As one of the Apostles said in substance, that he would rather speak ten words with his understanding than ten thousand with confusion. "God is not the author of confusion but of peace." Unlike the great psychic of the ages, who have been more or less confused, the great mystics have been intensely and pre-eminently sane people, sound people.

The philosophy of Jesus will remain sound when the belief in a material universe shall have been rolled up like a scroll and numbered with the things once thought to be real. So will be the philosophy of Buddha, Plato, Socrates, Emerson and Wal Whitman, and the philosophy we are writing about today. But the more or less unconscious disclosures of most psychics are not entirely true, even in the day in which they are given. While pscychism is a most interesting field of study, we should understand it for what it is worth.

It is through the teachings of the illumined that the Spiritual Universe reveals Itself, imparting to us what we know about God. What we directly experience ourselves, and what we believe other have experiences, is all we can know about God.

Jesus taught a Power transcendent, triumphant, absolute, positive, against which lesser laws meant nothing. By Its very Presence It Heals. The mystics did not contend or argue with people. There was nothing to argue about. THEY SAW and KNEW. They are the great revealers to man of the nature of the Universe, and the relationship of man to God.

Man has compelled nature to do his bidding. He has harnessed electricity, caught the wind, trapped steam, and made them do his will. He has invented machines to do the work of thousands. e has belted the globe with his traffic and built up a wonderful civilization; but in a few cases has he conquered his own soul. The mystic has revealed things that do not pass as ships in the night. He has revealed Eternal Verities and has plainly taught us that there is a Living Presence indwelling ALL. This constitutes the greatest intellectual and spiritual heritage of the ages. The balance of our knowledge of God must come as a direct impartation from Him. We must learn it for ourselves.

The mystic does not read human thought, but rather he senses the atmosphere of God. The mystics of every age have seen, sensed and taught THE SAME TRUTH! Psychic experiences, on the other hand, bear the exact opposite testimony, as they more or less contradict each other, for each psychic sees a different kind of mental picture. But the mystic experiences of the ages have revealed ONE AND THE SAME TRUTH!

A psychic sees largely through his own, or another's, subjective mentality. Consequently, his impressions are more or less colored by the vibration of his own or another's thought. He is subject to hallucinations and false impressions of every description. That is why, generally speaking, no two psychics see the same thing. Mystics have all sensed one identical Reality, and their testimony is in no way confused, because the Spirit within them has borne witness to the same Truth.

The mystics have been perfectly normal people. They have been not thinking of themselves as mystics, that was their language. It was natural to them-perfectly normal. They have been people like Jacob Boehme, a cobbler, pegging away at his shoes, who, looking up, saw in the geranium plant the reflection of the Cosmos-the very soul of God; like Jesus looking into the heart of nature; like Moses reading God's Law from a burning bush.

A mystic is not a mysterious person but is one who has a deep, inner sense of Life and of his unity with the Whole. Mysticism and psychism are entirely different. One is real while the other may, or may not, be an illusion. There is nothing mysterious in the Truth, so far as It is understood, but all things seem mysterious until we understand them.

A mystic is one who intuitively perceives Truth and, without mental process, arrives at Spiritual Realization. It is from the teachings of the great mystics that the best in the philosophy of the world has come. Who was there who could have taught such men as these? By what process of mentality did they arrive at their profound conclusions? We are compelled to recognize that Spirit alone was their Teacher; they were indeed taught of God.

Our great religions have been given by a few who climbed the heights of spiritual vision and caught a fleeting glimpse of Ultimate Reality. No living soul could have taught them what they knew.

The great poets have been true mystics who, through their poems, have revealed the Presence of God. Men like Robert Browning, Tennyson, Wordsworth, Homer, Walt Whitman, Edward Rowland Sill, and others of like nature, have given us poetry which is immortal, because they has a spiritual sense of life.

Great spiritual philosophers are mystics. The old prophets were mystics-David, Solomon, Jesus, Plotinus, and a score of others, all has the same experience-the sense of a Living Presence. The greatest music ever composed was written by the hand of a mystic, and the highest and best in art has come from men of spiritual perception.

In each human being, the Whole is represented, and the entire knowledge of wisdom, of health, and the perfection of every act, manifests-is represented-and it is through this Inner Divine Voice, the Divine Nature within us, that we are able to perceive and trust, and come into conscious contact with, this Divine Principle. In the sight of this Within, we are perfect. We must try to see ourselves as God sees us, free and filled with vitality and sufficiency for every occasion.

It is not enough to confess that God is the only Power there is. It is only when this consciousness of power is hooked to the dynamo of the mind that there is generated, through the imagination, an embodiment of that which is able to loose it in any direction it sees fit. It is not enough merely to say that there is One Mind and that Mind is God. To this we must add: "That Mind is my mind now." That completes the thought, makes possible a loosing of Divine Intelligence through our own imagination.

Let us not forget that, in treatment, we must sense the embodiment of that which we wish to experience. The statements which are made in the treatment are for the purpose of delivering to the imagination, in a certain form, THAT WHICH WAS TRUE BEFORE WE MADE THE STATEMENTS. The whole problem is not one of creation, but one of direction, and there is no direction unless there is first an embodiment. Let us try this in our meditation. We know that we reflect the Divine Perfection and that there is an intuition within us which guides us. We know that all the power there is and all the presence there is, is this perfect Spirit, this Divine Reality, which is around us and through us and in us. Now, each turning directly to his own thought, says:

"The Spirit within me, which is God, the Living Spirit Almighty, is Perfection. It is Wholeness; It is Peace. It is Divine Guidance, Perfect Peace, Complete Wholeness, Absolute Perfection, and right now, this moment, this Spirit governs every act of my life. It surrounds me with Light, in which there is no darkness, no gloom, no heaviness and no fear. In This Light, I live and move and have my being. And this Light dispels all darkness and casts out all fear.

"This Divine Wisdom within me guides every act, directs everything in my life, toward happiness, toward peace, toward power; and being the Spirit of Love, It surrounds me with beauty, with friendship and with joy. Being the Giver of Life, every day I receive that which is perfect, abundant, happy, joyful and free. Being that Divine Things which individualizes in me, It is entirely individual, personal and unique. I am the expression of my own complete self, and there is no barrier or bar to that self-expression. Being the Spirit of Substance, that Spirit within me is the Father of Supply, and It brings to me everything necessary to my unfoldment, and keeps me in the wisdom through which It governs me, now and forever."

I Represent the Principle of Perfection

I am One with the Perfect Action. Everything that I do, say or think is quickened into action through this right understanding and this correct knowing.
The harmonious action of the Great Whole operates through me now and at all times. I am carried along by this Right Action and am compelled to do the right thing at the right time.
There is nothing in me that can hinder this action from flowing through me.

The action of God is the only action.

As God cares for the birds, who do not gather into barns, so shall we be cared for if we trust and do not doubt. But we are to seek the Kingdom first. Jesus bade us to completely trust in God for everything and in every instance. He had a complete reliance upon God. Dare we say that such a confidence will be misplaced? Have we ever tried it? Until we have tried and failed, we are not in position to contradict this theory. Those who have implicitly relied upon this theory are proving the principle to be definite, and one upon which an absolute reliance may be placed.

Have no fear of tomorrow; enjoy today. Refuse to carry the corpse of a mistaken yesterday. What untold misery is suffered through the burdens imposed by our yesterdays and the bitter prospects of our tomorrows! The good of the present day is too often sandwiched between these two impossible situations. The day in which we live is sufficient. We are to live today as though God were in His Heaven, while all is well with our souls.

Jesus made the greatest claim upon God, of anyone who ever lived. He demanded a complete and unreserved trust in the goodness and loving kindness of the Creator. And harking down the ages-since he lived and taught his marvelous philosophy to mankind-those who have followed his teachings have been justified in their faith.

If our eye is single, we shall be filled with light. That is, when we perceive the Unity of Good, we shall perceive it in its entirety, an undivided whole. But if our eye be filled with evil, we shall remain in darkness. We must cleave to the good, and trust absolutely in the Law of God to bring about any desired end. Spirit will mold our purposes when we allow It to do so. As we learn to depend more and more upon the perfect Law, we shall find that the outward things which are necessary to our good, will be provided. We shall be cared for as the lilies of the field, which live directly upon the Divine bounty. And yet they toil not nor do they spin.
