As long as we limit the “I am” in us to the narrow boundaries of the
relative and conditioned, we will never realize that the “I am” personified in
ourselves is the same unfettered “I am,” God, the Creator of the Universe.
There is only one Mind in which we all exist, therefore we are in contact
with every soul in the world from within ourselves. When we understand this,
separation is impossible and we become aware of the unity that forever exists
between us and the Father. Some believe we create this unity, but this unity
is already existing as an Eternal Reality. What we have to do is to become aware
of It through self-realization.
It is the conscious thought of the Infinite that keeps the Universe operating
according to the perfect law of harmony. It is the conscious thought of man that
keeps man’s world in harmony also. The Universal Mind supplies the power
to our minds just as electricity supplies the power to the dynamo. Then let us practice
thinking for ourselves and the more we are capable of thinking for ourselves the
better the world will be, and our personal Life will feel the first benefits.
The Invisible is not separate from the visible. Man is not separate from
God. When we live in a state of separation we react to the external, thinking it
is Reality or the cause of our troubles, but the cause is within ourselves.
When we are aware of our unity with the Creator there is no such reaction,
we act from within and thus exercise our control as we have been given
dominion over all things (external to ourselves).
You should now know whether you are living in separation or moving
towards the unity which is real. It is through your experiences you will know,
when you note these experiences and understand them.
The moment we become aware of our unity with Reality we are at peace
with the Universe and we become a power that shall purge the world of all
its unnecessary stupid childish things.
In the first place we must get rid of the personal elements of moods, likes
and dislikes, you cannot do this by merely skimming the surface but by careful
impersonal examination and discernment. When we have seen these superficial
non-essential things in the Life we will begin to discover “I am” the central
Reality which no changing mood or environment can ever disturb.
We must not approach them in the sense of possession nor in the state of
rivalry as to who understands more and who understands less. There is often
antagonism between people approaching the same truth. The truth must become
the dominant factor and not individuals. Reality must become a living
