The Universal One

by Walter Russell

THE UNIVERSAL ONE was originally published in 1927 and distributed to the top scientists in the country. It is being republished at this crucial period for the sole purpose of again releasing vital new scientific knowledge to this new age of new comprehension.

Walter Russell spent a full seven years in writing this book.

The book mixed science and metaphysics in a manner which nullified its impression upon physicists.

The physicist draws a sharp line between things which he can in some way detect by the evidence of his senses and things which lie beyond that evidence.

In other words, material evidence which lies within the narrow limits of man’s sense-range is the only admissible evidence to science.

Cosmic Age of awareness wherein man could become knowing man instead of sensing man.

Space is as much matter as planets are but of an opposite form, potential and purpose.

In trying to awaken within man an awareness of the Source of all science and philosophy by knowing God’s ways sufficiently to make them man’s ways,

The fulcrum from which all power springs is KNOWLEDGE.

unfolding in cosmic man,

The “life and death” cycles of man and of the elements of matter do not vary. They are the same, for man’s body is a compound of these elements.

It cannot do otherwise where God controls all things.

For long ages man has impatiently awaited the knowledge which would tear away the veil from the invisible universe which lies beyond his perception and bring it within the range of both his perception and his exact comprehension.

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.

Man is omnipotent when he but knows his omnipotence. Until tha...

Man is God and therefore God is within the comprehension of man.

Man is Mind. Man is matter. Mind and matter are One. God is Mind.

Man and Mind and all creating things are universal. No man can say: “I alone am I.”

He will then know that all knowledge exists within man and is subject to his desire to recall it from within his inner Mind.

Knowledge is not acquired from without but merely recollected from within.

Man must “think in light”; his thinking must be in terms of the electromagnetic periodicities which measure all motion, for of such is he himself, and nothing

else. To know how to think in light from within is to open the doors of all knowledge. Omnipotence lies in perfect thinking. There is no power in this universe other than the energy of thinking Mind.

Thinking is the cause of motion and the periodicities, or states of motion, caused by thinking Mind are registered i...

Matter is light. Nothing is which ...

Knowledge of the One Thing will lift the yoke which man has placed on his own shoulders.

All dimension is an illusion, an appearance, due to rising potential, which must disappear into its inevitable sequence of lowering potential, and again appear in endless cycles of appearance, disappearance and reappearance.

To think in light is not a new power being developed by evolving man. It is a power which is now within him awaiting only his knowledge of the use of that power. It is merely the recognition by man of his absolute control of the many dimensions of the universal constant of energy which constitutes the thinking process of Mind exactly as he can control the changing speeds of his motor car.

When man can change the low speed of his objective thinking in this universe of dimension to the high speed of his inner thinking where dimension disappears in light, then is he superman.

Fundamentally wrong in its basic premises, and wasteful in its practice, man’s modern concept of the universe must be torn down and built again on truth as plainly told in light.

Primitive in his concepts, man divides the universe into the seen and the unseen, then finds himself groping in the dark, blindfolded, hopelessly trying to find the way to the door of the Holy of Holies.

Man’s most wonderful of instruments, the spectroscope, has told him little, for he has not yet learned to read it.

The spectrum of iron is to man naught but the spectrum of iron. To the cosmic import of those many glowing lines he is indeed blind.

Again, in helium he reads the lines as helium’s lines and sees not in them the plain story simply told of six new elements of vast import awaiting man’s use in the easing of his burden.

And of those most important of the elements, which man calls the “inert gases,” nothing at all is known except that they will not combine wit...

Wrong concepts of the atom’s structure and the modern electric theory, of energy and its transmission, of conductivity, radiation and gravitation, and of that electro-chemical state of opposed motion called luminosity, all of these wrong...

With truth comes knowledge; and with knowledge power to transmute at will, and simply, plentiful substances of matter into those which ar...

Either way it matters not, for in the end truth will survive, and man will complete his destiny.

In the beginning, God. There is but one God. There is but one universe. God is the universe. God is not one and the universe another. The universe is not a separate creation of God’s. It is God. There is no created universe. Nothing is which has not always been. 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.

Creation means to man the coming into existence of something which was not before in existence. Man’s concept of creation is the coming into being of a physical, visible universe heretofore non-existent.

The Creator is to man’s mind a Sublime Being, separate and apart from man, who created the physical universe of matter, causing to come into being that which had not been. Man holds the co...

Man conceives a perfect and omnipotent God. A perfect and omnipotent God could not create imperfection.

Nothing has been “created.”

This is a “creating” universe, not a “created” one.

“Creation” is an apparent integration in continuity of that which already exists in substance. It is a periodic change of state of the One unchanging substance. It is evolution.

God is in reality, and exists in substance. God is thinking Mind. The substance, or body, of God is light.

The substance of all “created” things is light. The One substance of thinking Mind is all that exists. The “created” universe is the registration in matter of the idea of thinking Mind. Mind is expressed in light.

Man’s concept of an infinite God, possessing infinite knowledge and infinite power, Creator of an infinite universe of infinite extension, is not in accord with the laws of motion.

All cause is comprehensible to, and all effects are measurable by man.

Light is the living substance of Mind in action. It is the creating principle of the One substance.

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. (John i-5.)
