so they become confused. If you are not confused you are tranquil, and
you will not wait for another to tell you what to do, you will immediately
dissolve the cause within yourself.

When we are confused in mind, we are confused in body. Most of
our illnesses come from confusion of the mind in one way or another, the
body is but the mind materialized.
When we succumb to conditioning we call the result bad or evil, so

we create further conditioning and we resist the good. We create opposites
within ourselves through misunderstanding the Oneness of the Spirit in Its
complete expression. When we understand the cause of our conditioning it

dissolves away and immediately we are free of opposites.
When all our experiences are dissolved in the present by living in the
Presence now, all the forces of our true nature, made in His likeness, come

into being. When we live in the past or the future we live in the illusion of
separation, and this means struggle and disappointment.
It is the Infinite Life that is always present and is the only power

there is, It is Ever-present in the individual and is not separated in another.
When this is known through experience and is not merely an intellectual
idea, all fear, all sense of right and wrong, all hates, all that frustrates you in
the present is dissolved away. This is freedom.

To attain freedom you must see clearly and very definitely what is
false, so that it drops away. To discern what is false you must examine deeply
and observe everything that you are doing, thinking and feeling. Out of that

you will not only discover what is false, but out of that will come a new vitality,
a new energy that will make all things anew in mind, body and circumstances.
If you conform to a pattern you will be in limitation, and if your pattern
is not unfolding there is frustration and failure. The Infinite Mind is complete

Being now, in which there is no limitation, no pattern to fill; this Being must
be our Being, there is none other.
In Reality there is no finite being as most people think. There is but

“One” Being. We must wear down our individual existence in the consciousness
through discernment of the false and that which in the mind separates us
from Infinity. In this understanding only lies the purpose of our individual

existence. The small “I” loses Itself in the great “I am” and I become “I am
that I am,” the drop becomes the ocean where there is no separation, no
division, no distinction.
