Mathematical and measurable proof of the existence of but One Mind, One force and One substance would give to man absolute control over matter, the power to create, even as God creates, and within the same limitations.

Knowledge is not acquired from without but merely recollected from within. The recollection of knowledge from within is an electromagnetic process of thinking Mind which is as exactly under man’s control as is the generation of the same power to turn a wheel.

Ecstatic man is he who can think in those high octaves of the inner Mind which has been termed “spirit.” Ecstatic man is inspired man of universal genius, of inner thinking. Inspired man is he to come whose thinking will be from within, in light, and it will be an ecstasy of thinking which will produce enduring things. That work which is created in ecstasy of inner thinking can alone endure.

All created things are from the beginning. They have no beginning. They do not come into being. They are and always have been and always will be.

I was recently bogged down in a mental quagmire of eternal V immortal. Goldsmith talks of the eternal I, the infinite I. This is an odd place to start but the most common sense place to start: the beginning. But how does one reconcile and process a "beginning" in an eternal paradigm? 3.9.24

He could not create a lesser than Himself. He could not create a greater than Himself. God could not create other than Himself God did not create other than Himself, nor greater, nor lesser than Himself. In the sense generally understood by man God did not create anything. Nothing has been “created.” This is a “creating” universe, not a “created” one.

All cause is comprehensible to, and all effects are measurable by man. A limited, measurable universe cannot be infinite; and a Divinity limited as to His range of cause, which, ipso facto, limits the possible range of effect, cannot be infinite.

Matter is light. God and matter are One. Spirit and matter are the same substance. That substance is light. There are not two substances in the universe. There cannot be two substances in the universe.

Light is life. There is but One Life in the universe. The whole of the universe is but One living, breathing, pulsing Being. There are not two lives or two living beings in the universe. There are not two of any thing in the universe. The universe and all that is, is One.

Man’s concept of life is energized, organic substance. Man’s concept of death is de-energized, organic substance. There is no death. Life is eternal. The One substance of the universe cannot become de-energized. Man’s concept of life belongs to motion-in-opposition. Man’s concept of death belongs to motion-in-inertia.

All motion is oscillatory, swinging in sequence between two apparently opposing forces, gravitation and repulsion, which are respectively electric and magnetic.

This oscillatory motion is a pulsating in-breathing and out-breathing, an inhalation and an exhalation, which is a characteristic of all matter, whether it be in units, or systems of units, or mass.

The creation of form in matter is the apparent integration of those things which are and always have been. The de-creation of form in matter is the apparent disintegration of apparently integrated things. Creation is transmutation, or integration, of the one simple indivisible substance, into the appearance of many complex substances and things.

Creation may be likened unto the assembling of a few letters of type for the printing of a very complex idea. De-creation may be likened unto the redistribution of type, after it has served its purpose of giving expression to idea on the printed page. Matter is light crystallized into the complex idea of this universe, exactly as literature is type assembled into the complex ideas of a library.

To man, matter means the complexity of many substances and many things. Complexity and variability belong to motion and not to substance. There is but One unchanging substance. The appearance of change does not belong to substance but to motion.

Sex is of all things from the beginning. Sex begins when light begins. Sex is the desire for the appearance of being which constitutes the appearance of existence. Nothing can be, without the desire to be. All things are which desire to be. Desire dominates all thinking. Desire dominates all matter. All desire is sex desire. All desire is for the continuance of existence in the orderliness of existence.

Sex is the apparent division of all things into their opposites, male and female. Sex is evolutionary in all things. All things are both male and female. All creation is first male in preponderance, then it is similarly female.

Sex first asserts itself in form. All form appears through sex, passes through a progressive charge called “growth” and disappears. All growth is impelled by force and motion, and controlled by sex. Neither sex, nor force, nor motion is of itself alone. Each is of the others. Nothing is of itself alone. There can be no force without thinking. There can be no motion without the force of thinking. There can be no idea of Mind without sex opposition.

Thinking and working continue the appearance of all idea from the high to the low octaves of creation. All creating things are but the ideas of divine Mind. The whole idea of all things is in the seed of all things. In the seed of idea is the whole of idea. In the seed of the oak is the whole of the oak. In the seed of the rose is the whole of the rose. In the seed of man is the whole of man. The seed of all idea is in thinking.
