of the Absolute Being, and that while it is true that the entire Universe of Universes is simply a
Thought-Form held in the Mind of the Absolute--still this fact does not mean that all Things are "illusions"
or "dreams." Remember this, now and forever, O Student--that that which is held in the Absolute Mind as a
Thought-Form IS, and is all there IS, outside of the Absolute Itself. When the Absolute forms a
Thought-Form, It forms it out of Its own mental substance--when the Absolute "holds anything in Its Mind,"
It holds it in Itself--for the Absolute is ALL-MIND.
The Absolute is not a material Being, from which Material Beings are created. It is a Spiritual Being--a
Chapter XVIII 42
Being whose Substance is akin to that which we call "Mind," only raised to Infinity and Absolute Perfection
and Power. And this is the only way it can "create"--by creating a Thought-Form in Its Mental, or Spiritual
Substance. The faintest "Thought" of the Absolute is more real and durable than anything that man can
create--in fact, man can "create" nothing, for all the hard and real material he uses in his "creations," such as
steel, diamonds, granite, are but some of the minor Forms, "thought" into being by the Absolute.
And also remember this, that the Absolute cannot "think" of anything, without putting Itself in that thing, as
its Essence. Just as a man's Mental Images are not only in his mind, _but his mind is in them, also_.
Why, you doubting and timorous ones, does not even the finite "thinking" of Man manifest itself in physical
and material changes of form and shape?--does not a man's every thought actually "create" physical forms
and shapes, in his brain-cells and physical tissue? You who are reading these words--yea, while you are
reading these words--are "creating" changes of form and shape in your brain-cells, and physical organism.
Your mind is constantly at work, also, in building up your physical body, along the lines of the Instinctive
Mind (see previous series of lessons)--you are mentally creating in a miniature universe, every moment of
your life. And yet, the idea of the Absolute "creating" a Universe by pure Thought, in Its own Mind, and
thereafter causing the work of the Universe to proceed according to Law, by simply "Willing" it so, causes
you to wonder, and perhaps to doubt.
O, ye of little faith, you would deny to the Absolute even the power you possess yourself. You plan things in
your mind every day, and then proceed to cause them to appear in material manifestation, and yet you doubt
the ability of the Absolute to do likewise. Why even the poets, or writers of fiction, create characters in their
minds--and these seem so real, that even you imagine them to be actual entities, and you weep over their
pains, and smile at their joys--and yet all this is on the finite plane. Why, even the "imaginations" of your
petty finite, undeveloped minds, have sufficient power to make your physical bodies sick, or well, or even to
cause you to "die," from some imagined ailment. And yet you doubt the power of the Absolute, to "think"
things into being! You tiny students in the great Kindergarten of Life--you must learn better lessons from
your little blocks and games. And you _will_--this is the Law.
And you who are filled with the sense of your smallness, and "unreality"--know you that so long as you are
"held in the Mind of God," then so long are you "remembered" by Him. And so long as you are remembered
by Him, no real harm can befall you, and your Reality is second only to His own. Even though you pass out of
your mortal frame--doth he remember you in His Mind, and keeping you there, he holds you safe and
unharmed. The greatest satisfaction that can come to one, is to be able to fully realize that he, or she, is held
firmly IN THE MIND OF THE INFINITE BEING. To such comes the knowledge that in THAT LIFE there
can be NO DEATH.
Peace be with you in this Realization. May you make it your own!
THE SIXTH LESSON
WITHIN THE MIND OF THE ONE.
In our last lesson we gave you the Inner Teachings of the Yogi Philosophy, relating to the real nature of the
Universe, and all that is therein contained. We trust that you have pondered well and carefully the statements
contained in that lesson, for in them is to be found the essence of the highest Yogi teachings. While we have
endeavored to present these high truths to you in the simplest possible form, yet unless your minds have been
trained to grasp the thought, you may have trouble in fully assimilating the essence of the teachings. But, be
not discouraged, for your mind will gradually unfold like the flower, and the Sun of Truth will reach into its
inmost recesses. Do not be troubled if your comprehension seems dull, or your progress slow, for all things
will come to you in time. You cannot escape the Truth, nor can the Truth escape you. And it will not come to
you one moment sooner than you are ready to receive it, nor will it be delayed one moment in its coming,
Chapter XVIII 43
when you are ready for it. Such is the Law, and none can escape it, nor alter it, nor modify it. All is Well, and
All is Under the Law--nothing ever "happens."
To many, the thought that the Universe and all that is therein contained, are simply "Thought Forms" in the
Infinite Mind--Mental Creations of the Absolute, may seem startling, and a sense of unreality may pervade
one. This is inevitable, but the reaction will come. To some who have grasped this mighty truth there has
come a feeling that "All is Nothing," which idea is embodied in their teachings and writings. But this is
merely the Negative Phase of the Truth--there is a Positive Phase which comes as one advances.
The Negative Phase shows us that all that we have considered as real and permanent--the foundations of the
Universe itself--is but a mental image in the mind of the Absolute, and therefore lacks the fundamental
reality that we had previously associated with it. And realizing this, we are at first apt to feel that, indeed "all
is nothing," and to fall into a state of apathy, and lack of desire to play our part in the world. But, then, happily
the reaction sets in, sooner or later, and we begin to see the Positive Phase of the Truth. This Positive Phase [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
