hand to be able to discern that which is false, that which separates us
from one another.
There is a common ground upon which all thinking people can agree

that is that there cannot be any outside of God otherwise God could not be
infinite, and that there can be no division in the mind of God therefore no
distinction. Science has proved to us that the whole Universe is a compact form
of electronic substance, incapable of division, and only in this substance can

form take place. There never has been any separation nor can we be divided in
it. This separation, this division is but a concept born in ignorance.
We cannot escape our relation to people and things. Through them

we gain experience but we only begin to know ourselves when we discern
our thoughts and reactions. For freedom is a state of consciousness, an awareness
of unlimited Realty in which we live and move and have our being and in

which everyone is the same.
The time is soon coming when science and religion will move forward
hand in hand. When this takes place then fear and death, the last enemies

in man’s consciousness will disappear. As truth is revealed so will the mind of
man change accordingly, and only in the quietness of the mind can this Truth
be unfolded.
There is a sense of freedom with the study of Science of this new age,

and many people all over the world are beginning to question separation and
religion as it is taught today. If religion is to survive it must be streamlined,
brought up to date to coincide with facts of science and Nature. For there can

only be one religion, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man in the
light of our new knowledge. If this fundamental truth is rejected then there
can only be sorrow and conflict for the world.
There are some who think they live a Spiritual Life so they despise

the materialist. Are we not all materialistic in one sense or another? Do not
think that by giving names such as “material” or “spiritual” we are going to solve
the problem. By labelling this group or that group, this person or that person,

we are not going to find the truth. Many people who profess God are unkind to
others; this can never be Truth. On the other hand if a person has real affection,
loves people, is impersonal in thought and action, he is often looked upon as

not Spiritual, yet this person is much nearer the mark than one who professes
to love God and is unkind to others. We show our love for God by our af-
fection for our fellows.
