LESSON NUMBER 12 ANSWERS TO STUDENTS QUESTIONS

“ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERABLE IN LIGHT. THOU ART LIGHT, THOU CAN’ST ANSWER THEM.”

I repeat these glorious words from The Divine Iliad because the promise in them is a constant reminder that the answer to every question lies within yourself.

Complete knowledge–or Omniscience–centers your Consciousness, but the unfolding awareness is a process which is measured by the intensity of your desire.

Let me remind you that when you search for the answer to anything which confuses you, search for it in CAUSE–and NEVER in EFFECT.

A doctor who would try to cure an effect by another effect would be but experimenting. I often feel like telling you that if every question in the world had to be answered, and every problem solved by just one word, that one glorious word would be BALANCE.

Balance is the key to the answer, or the solution, for any problem whatsoever arises from an interchange between the two opposite extensions of the zero of balance.

Therefore I say to you, first ask yourself the question you would ask of me, or of any other person, and see if the answer is not clearly in yourself. Go back to that zero of balance, just as the bookkeeper in the bank extends his credits and debits from that zero until they balance.

As these lessons proceed there will come many questions as to things which you do not, at first, clearly see. You will find, however, that the answer to that which now confuses you will be found in the next lesson–or the next–but is within you NOW if you took it back to the zero of CAUSE in BALANCE from which it is extended.

I assure you that I am glad to answer any question you ask but it will be of greater benefit to you if you would first meditate upon it after first desiring the answer from within yourself.

Among the many questions I have received the following are most typical.

QUESTION. “I am deeply confused regarding my own individual Soul and what you term the Universal Soul. If my individual Soul, which I assume I have, is part of the Universal Soul, as one drop of water is part of the ocean, how can it still be my individual Soul for reincarnating as such when it loses its identity in the Universal Soul as the drop of water loses its identity when put back in the ocean?”

ANSWER. This question is ahead of the lessons but a brief answer will not only help satisfy your curiosity, and remove part of the veil of your confusion, but will help prepare you for the lesson when it does come.

The answer is that God has a wonderful book-keeping system to record all of the thoughts and actions of His imagined universe of seemingly separate things. All thoughts are recorded permanently in a manner which will be explained later. Every thought, every desire and every action of yours is what constitutes your individuality. They are electrically recorded in a state of motion which surrounds that still center of Consciousness which is your Soul, just as a still center of gravity is surrounded by moving matter of earth.

If your individuality consists of thoughts and actions somewhat different from the thoughts and actions of another individual you cannot compare your individuality with a drop of water which has no individual desires to pattern itself differently from other drops of the ocean.

You can better use the seed of a rose as an example, for the rose has desires and actions which pattern its folding and Unfolding. The rose seed which you see is just plain matter of earth, and when you return it to earth it is as much the earth as the drop of water is the ocean.

BUT–there is something in that seed which you do not see, and cannot see, In that seed is the same rose, refolded, awaiting its unfolding in a new body with matter of earth.

That which you did see of the seed is only food for the unfolding embryo rose. It is as much earth of earth as the drop of water is water of ocean, but out of the same earth ten thousand times ten thousand individual forms appear because there are ten thousand times ten thousand individual records of desire in that earth.

QUESTION. “I quote from Prelude, page 4–‘and each one of every opposite pair not only balances with its opposite but borns its opposite through sequential interchange’, Does this mean that we are alternately male and female from incarnation to incarnation?”

ANSWER. This question is partly explained in Lesson No. 11, and will be completed in Lessons Nos. 13, 14 and 15. Every male is also female, and every female is also male, for every unit of everything is polarized with both opposites. The male-female conditions are continually interchanging in each polarized body in every cycle of every wave length.

When you breathe in you are charging your body toward strengthening the fatherhood idea of you. Out of that opposite the motherhood idea springs in your outbreathing. In that one cycle you have expressed both conditions. That same interchange [and] alternation takes place in every thought cycle, as well as your whole life cycle.

You confuse the male-female terms with the thought terms of concentration and decentration. It is not the male and female which interchange, it is their conditions. Interchange balances the opposed positive and negative conditions but does not void the male or female bodies.

A key is male and a lock is female. So are a model and a mould of it.

A male body may be preponderantly negative and a female body may be preponderantly positive. Homosexuality arises from such unbalanced conditions which began in the foetus.

Alternation in sequential incarnations is a question of recorded desire for expression. To illustrate what I mean by this consider the musician whose every thought during a lifetime is concerned with musical rhythms. His Soul record would repeat itself in his desires and he would undoubtedly recollect and repeat his desires in the next incarnation. As to the sex of his body that depends entirely upon the interchange of the forming foetus, but strongly positive desires recorded in the Soul-seed will be reproduced with a strongly positive body, probably male, but if female would produce a very positive character.

QUESTION. “Please define what you mean by Mind, Self, and Mind Self–Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness–Intellect and intelligence–and Light.”

ANSWER. By Mind and Light I mean that which is God. It is the still magnetic invisible Light from which the two visible lights of the divided electric thought universe extend. These two lights of motion are the same for they are electric waves. When the direction of motion is inward toward gravity, however, the light increases in intensity from the blackness of space through the red end of the spectrum to incandescence at the centers of gravity because of ever shortening waves.

When the direction of light is outward from incandescence toward space its luminosity lowers gradually through the blue end of the spectrum to the blackness of space. Putting it more simply I might say that there is but one light which is divided to appear to be two.

Consciousness means the same as Light and Mind, but its connotation suggests awareness of cognizance of itself. Cosmic Consciousness means an awareness of the Cosmos–or Creation–and its processes and purposes.

Intelligence is KNOWING. God is the great INTELLIGENCE, which is all-knowing. Any man’s intellect is the measure of his awareness of God in him, which means the measure of his knowing.

QUESTION. “Lesson 1–Page 7. You speak of all things extending from each other. Do you mean that a body is created which in turn creates another body?”

ANSWER. No. That is not at all my meaning. I mean that there are not two separate, or separable things in the universe. Everything in it is extended from every other thing. You, for example, are the blade of grass on a Pampas prairie–or the farthermost star–or the ice cap on Mars. Your heartbeat is the heartbeat of every living thing. If you move your little finger you move the whole universe.

Everything in the universe is indissolubly bound to everything else in it by invisible flux threads of light.

QUESTION. “At 65 I find myself in a quandary as to what to do to improve my personal economic conditions. My friends all advise me so differently that I do not know which advice to follow, Can you enlighten me?”

ANSWER. Ask God about it. He will tell you for the answer is in yourself. No one can advise you who does not make your problem his very own, and that is too rare a happening. You cannot tell them the whole of your problem even if you try. The more you refrain from telling others about your problems and spend that time in communion with God the stronger you will become as your own leader. In The Divine Iliad are these words. “See Me. Know Me. Be Me. Be thou fulcrum of thine own power.” That is your path to your own independence.

QUESTION. “On page 27 you say: ‘When God decentrates His thinking those body forms expand into disappearance to reappear when God reconcentrates His thinking.’ Is this the reason one dies (at the time he does) because God withdraws His thinking from this one?”

ANSWER. No, that is not the reason he dies, for God never withdraws His thinking. There are two directions to thinking just as there are two directions of a piston in a pump. The compressive direction concentrates to form bodies, while the expansive direction dissolves them.

The pump does not stop pumping while it expands nor does God stop thinking when He decentrates. The reaction is a part of the action in all things. You will find diagrams in Lessons Nos. 13, 14 and 15 which will clarify this much more distinctly.

QUESTION. “Some parts of the day I find myself doing wonderful work. It goes fast and I feel sure of myself. At other times, however, I seem to lose my power and skill and I make many mistakes which annoy me. Could you tell me what is the matter? Has it anything to do with inability to concentrate?”

ANSWER. Your trouble is not inability to concentrate but inability to balance both swings of the pendulum of your thinking. When you are doing good work, joyfully, and it is going fast with but few mistakes it is because you are concentrating normally after a period of decentration–or rest.

When you start work in the morning you will find a period of freshness which will last for two or three hours of normal routine work. Staleness then sets in because you do not balance your concentrative effort. If you open up your thinking to a stopping point–expand it –stop thinking of anything for just a few minutes you will find that you can go on for another period of [two] or three hours–and you can keep that up during a whole day of eight or ten hours if you take brief intervals of unwinding the tensity of your concentrative thinking. Just stop and look out of the window–or off into the sky–for even a brief period and your tenseness will unwind just like unwinding a watch spring.

Your ability to utterly decentrate–even for a second–will multiply your power to concentrate. Have you noticed that a spontaneous speaker will sometimes pause for even one second–a blank look comes into his face for just that second of intense decentration in which he gets more “from the blue” than he can tell you in the next half hour.

He decentrated to seek inspiration and idea TIMELESSLY, for him to unfold over a period of time. All knowledge comes TIMELESSLY but it takes time to express it.

QUESTION. “Can you decentrate and continue to work?”

ANSWER. No, unless your work is pure automatic routine, such as working on an assembly line. The more creative your work is, which requires you to think, the more you need to decentrate to get more knowledge for you to think into form.

The inventor, business executive or musician whose work is creative absolutely MUST subordinate sensed existence to Mind. They must KNOW before they think. A concept for what you desire to do must precede the thinking of it, and the thinking must precede the action of giving it a body. But you cannot continue to decentrate to conceive and give bodies to your thoughts at the same time unless your work is automatic and you are an automaton.

QUESTION. “What do you personally do in your work to concentrate and decentrate?”

ANSWER. I take the most important work first. If that work is a portrait sitting I start it full of the vigour which follows a long night of decentration–which is rest from thinking–and rest of body, reinvigorated by two hours of walking, riding or skating.

I work for two hours, for experience tells me that I can do creative work for two hours. Then I stop, decentrate for a short time and can do equally well at something else for two hours–and I can do that continually for ten to fourteen hours without ever feeling fatigue.

During a two hour sitting I pause every half hour or so, (not timed by the clock but by my feelings) and decentrate fully. My favourite way of utterly relaxing is to go to the piano and improvise for a short period.

When I then go back to my sitting I see things “with a fresh eye”, to use a familiar term, which means that the prolonged period of concentration had dulled my perception during the half hour period of concentrative work.

QUESTION. “Could you give an example of concentration and decentration in some material form other than mental to help us understand it better?”

ANSWER. Yes, I could give you thousands of such examples. Consider a big log of wood. In that dense form it is concentrated. Put it in the fire and it decentrates to gases and smoke. Consider a bowl of water. It is concentrated. Stand it in the sun for a few hours and it disappears. It has decentrated.

QUESTION. But that is only contraction and expansion. Are they the same effects?”

ANSWER., Exactly., Everything in Nature is either concentrating or decentrating. Call it contraction or expansion if you wish for that is what it is, except for the fact that the connotation of the words make it necessary to apply concentration and decentration to a mental effect in one’s thinking, while compression and expansion are better words to use as applied to the same effect in an engine. You could use the words high and low potential if you were speaking in electric terms and they would mean just the same thing. Likewise, condensation and evaporation would mean the same thing if you were referring to water.

QUESTION. “If that is so, wouldn’t the words generation and radiation mean the same thing?”

ANSWER. Exactly. Or you could say hot or cold–or matter and space–or solidity and tenuity or any other pairs of words which mean opposite conditions, depending upon what you are talking about. Connotations differ but the principle does not differ. They all mean the same thing–definite form versus indefinite form. When you concentrate you give definite form to your concept. You give it a solid body, so to speak. When you decentrate you expand your thinking into the indefinite, formless world, then you concentrate to give your idea a definite body form.

QUESTION. “I can see how all the words apply except hot and cold. I cannot in any way connect them with concentration or decentration. Please explain?”

ANSWER. You asked me if concentration and decentration were not analagous to compression and expansion. You must have understood that. You also must know that compression and contraction heat while expansion cools.

If you could but cease thinking of many words and many things and think–instead–of the one simple principle which governs all effects. My greatest desire is to remove the useless and needless complexity from your thoughts and actions.

The more I can induce you to form the habit of thinking in terms of the universal heartbeat which pumps inward and thrusts outward, or of your breathing which also pumps inward to compress and thrusts outward to expand so that it can again compress, the farther you will go in life.

You can go farther in one hour by ceasing to take up your valuable time trying to “think things out” or “to reason them out” instead of getting back to the zero of all knowing Mind where you will be given the knowledge you desire to achieve your purpose directly instead of the indirect method of thinking or reasoning it out.

QUESTION. “I wish you would explain that idea further, I always thought it was absolutely imperative that we think and reason things out.”

ANSWER. If you KNOW a thing you can then take it apart by thinking it into form, through action. But if you only half know a thing, or do not know it at all but try to “think it out” by comparing one condition, or thing, or experience with another, you have but GUESSED–or EXPERIMENTED. You may come out right, or pretty nearly right–or a long way from right.

If, on the other hand, you take a little walk in the woods and talk with God about it you will not need to guess, or to reason, or to “think it out”. Always remember that your Mind can tell you more in a minute than your senses can tell you in years.

QUESTION. “Please explain that last statement. What have the senses got to do with thinking or reasoning it out?”

ANSWER. If you are deeply inspired with KNOWLEDGE–or have conceived an idea while in the Light–you do not need to waste time thinking it out–or reasoning it out. You KNOW it and you immediately proceed from there. It is only when you do not know [it] that you putter around and waste time by taking sensed records of information gleaned from books, from experiences and events and stored in your brain. Like a lot of pieces in a cut out puzzle picture you try to piece them together into some sort of tangible whole by what you call REASONING or THINKING.

What you are really doing is SENSING–not reasoning, nor even thinking. You are REMEMBERING and REPEATING sensed records by cutting them apart and trying to fit the jagged fragments of parts together.

You can produce only one result that way. You produce one more piece of mediocrity for the world’s wastebasket. If you actually KNEW your concept you would think it out KNOWINGLY with perfection in every action if your work was the result of divine inspiration.

You would then produce a masterpiece in one tenth of the time you wasted in REASONING OUT a Soulless creation.

You can have no better illustration of that than my colossal figure of Jesus which I did in four months without an assistant as against the normal time required by a sculptor of two years with an assistant who worked by himself alone without God.

Added to the time saving, one’s work is always a masterpiece who works knowingly with God’s Mind and hands, and never can be a masterpiece otherwise.

QUESTION. “During your Illumination you spoke of knowing the unreality of the material universe. You knew it to be an illusion. Please tell us more about that. How could you know that–and how could God tell you that it is not real?”

ANSWER. I will not only tell you how I knew it timelessly, but how God commanded that I think that knowledge into words to project into the three dimensional world of time and space for you and others to know.

In my story of that experience you will remember that I said that I knew instantly and timelessly the ONE WHOLE IDEA of God’s knowing and desiring. You will remember also that I told of my awareness of the universal heartbeat.

That awareness of the universal heartbeat had within it the full awareness that the heartbeat was the electric pulsation of God’s thinking. I knew that God’s thinking is but a mirage which gives imagined forms to His IDEA, and therefore had no more reality than a lot of imagined forms which you might conjure in your Mind had any reality.

God commanded that I write down this idea for you and others. That is why He kept me in that condition of severance for 39 days–so I would have time to write down things which needed to be projected into a universe of time.

I will quote God’s words, written through me in The Divine Iliad, where very much pertaining to this idea was written.

“Behold in Me the One, inseparable.

“Two things there are not in My universe. There is but Me. “Everything that is is of every other thing that is.

“Nothing is of itself alone. All things are indissolubly united.

“This is a universe of seeming; and imaged universe of thinking; an action universe of desiring. That which Mind desires will appear in the image of that desire.”

“Without thinking My One Idea could not become many one ideas for My stage setting.

“Without motion My cosmic play could not be played, nor could its actors be.

“Without change My undivided One Idea could not unfold.

“Without time My drama of My creating universe could have no sequences.

“Without motion, time, change and sequences the unfolding of My Mind imaginings could have no measured space for its stage settings, no screen for its light projections.

“Therefore see them as I imagine them; but know that they are but unfolding patterns of My knowing through My thinking.

“Know thou, therefore, that time is naught, nor are there moving things which change; nor is there life, nor death, nor cold, nor heat, nor good, nor bad, in My universe of Me.”

“To think is to create. I create with light. Nothing is which is not Light.

“I think Idea. Light registereth My Idea in the two sexed lights of My thinking, and form is born in the image of My thinking.

“Form has no existence, nor have My imaginings. These exist not, for they are not Me. I alone exist. I, the ALL.

“I create My imaged body with the inbreathing of My pulsing universe of Me.

“My universe is My image; but My image is not Me.

“All things are My Image, but they are not Me, e’en though I am in them and they in Me.”

All through The Divine Iliad there is a constant reiteration of the fact that God alone IS–and all which appears to be is but the imagined universe of illusion.

Regarding illusion itself all you need to do is to look about you and you will see illusion everywhere. Nothing you see is what it seems to be. The railroad tracks seem to meet on the horizon but they do not. A man in front of you seems bigger than a twenty story building behind him.

The motionless cloud which floats over your head is moving at 1000 miles per hour, yet it seems not to move.

QUESTION. “Why is it we see, hear and feel things which seem so real to us?”

ANSWER. It is your sensed body which sees, hears and feels. YOU–the PERSON–do not see, hear or feel. Your sensed body is motion. It is the moving electric record of thought–but thought images are recognizable only by other thought images, for thought images are electrically sensed with an electric awareness of each other. That electric awareness is naught but motion–wave vibrations of motion. They do not know anything. They but feel the interchange of motion.

The senses of your body are limited to feeling only within a certain range. They can see a pendulum swing one way but they do not see the invisible counterpart of that pendulum swinging the other way with equal force.

If the senses could record all motion, not just a limited part of it, they would see that what seems to be happening is also “unhappening” at the same time, for that which they see is voided by that which they do not see. This will be covered in great detail later in describing the VOIDANCE PRINCIPLE.

QUESTION. “I think I am beginning to understand but I wish you would clarify it more. You so often refer to the unrealities of creating things. All my life I have heard metaphysical groups tell that matter is not real. In the story of your Illumination you told about immediately knowing the unreality of matter. I believe it but I do not fully KNOW it, for when I think of a hard bar of iron I think of it as pretty real. How can you help me KNOW it more fully?”

ANSWER. A hard block of ice has the same seeming reality but it will disappear into the formless state it came from very quickly in the sunshine. And so will a bar of iron disappear in the same manner if melted. Its form will disappear into formless gases and the whole bar of iron will disappear if enough heat is applied to melt it.

If you think of all solids, which you think of as so real, as but ices of substances, frozen into transient forms, that will help you. When you really get it fully into your Consciousness that this is a universe of the still Light of Mind only, and that Mind thinks imagined forms–and that all imagined forms emerge from that stillness as just thought waves of motion–it will help you some day actually to KNOW it.

QUESTION. “Your answer brings up another question. You have to apply heat to melt the ice or the bar of iron. Isn’t that something else again?”

ANSWER. No. You do not apply heat as something else than the cold ice or bar of iron. The heat belongs to it but was taken from it to freeze it. When you restore the amount of heat which was taken from it to make it freeze you have restored its balance which means that it will have regiven to it that which the iron had given to matter. That means that it has returned to the formless state from which it emerged as a bar of iron to impress you with as something real.

You may apply that formula to anything on earth and the answer is the same. Consider a tree. The rays of the sun gradually added its heat to the unfolding oak for half a century and the oak gave that heat back to space as it cooled and froze into wood. Every generating pulsation of the positive half of the heartbeat which heated, was followed by the radiating half which cooled and thus froze the unfolding pattern into form.

That pulsing process of growth continued for half a century to exclude the heat and include the cold. That process of freezing the wood fibre is the same in principle that you employ to freeze cream into ice cream.

If you cut the tree down all the heat which has been excluded will return to disintegrate the fibre over a period of many years, or you can hasten that process with a match.

Please take note that I used the word “disintegrate”. I did not say “melt”, or “dissolve”, or “vaporize”, or “radiate”. Each [of] these words would have been equally right in principle, but their connotations would not have applied to wood. I could have used the words “rot” or “decay” with as proper connotation as the word “disintegrate”. I merely call your attention to this fact in passing because complexity of words and meanings of words add very materially to the complexing of your ability to comprehend Natural Law.

QUESTION. “You have spoken so many times about knowing all there is to know timelessly. No matter how I try to think it out I cannot understand it. Everything takes at least some time to create. Could you clear that up a little for me?”

ANSWER. You are right when you say that every creating thing takes time. For example, it takes fifty years of time to grow an oak tree from a seed, but if you look at an oak seed you can know the oak tree which is within it timelessly.

Knowledge of idea does not belong to a three dimensional space-time and thought universe. Knowledge of idea, and the qualities which belong to the Light of God’s still universe of Mind, are timeless. It is only the expression of an idea which takes time. By “expression of an idea” I mean giving it a material body. It means transforming qualities of the still Light which you cannot sense into quantities of the moving lights which you can sense.

There are a few more questions which space will not permit answering this month, but they will all be answered in succeeding months or, if too many, will be answered personally.

We are more than delighted at the many letters we receive which tell us that questions which students were going to ask they have asked of themselves in meditation and have found the answers within themselves. The following is typical: “I formulate questions to ask you, then I study a little more and find that I, myself, am able to answer them.”

That is wonderful–and as it should be, for this Home Study Course is not to add to your information but to give you fundamental knowledge which is not encyclopedic, but is God’s Omniscience awakened in you. I therefore, close this chapter as I began it by God’s Message to you which says “ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERABLE IN THE LIGHT. THOU ART LIGHT. THOU CANST ANSWER THEM.”

Swannanoa, Waynesboro, Va.

Treasured friends:

Your letters to us are marvelous. We cannot adequately describe the happiness and satisfaction they give us in knowing how much the Home Study Course is doing for the multiplication of your power through the unfolding of your cosmic awareness.

We are more especially pleased in knowing that whole families and many couples are studying the course together, some couples sharing such interests for the first time in their lives. It is wonderful that you tell us that in such sharing you are finding new strength and new companionship which the sharing of all the social pleasures in life cannot possibly give.

There is not anything which will so bind husbands and wives as the building of themselves through each other. God planned mates for every pair of opposites for that reason. No separate individual can find complete balance in himself alone; or do as good work without the loving cooperation of a balancing mate.

I found it that way when God sent Lao, I did fine work before that, and so did she–but immediately we began working together the quality of our work jumped noticeably ahead, so much so that our beloved friends are noticing it and commenting on it, I quote part of a letter.

“The lessons have been read and reread many times. And as with all your writings, more comes out of them each time I read them. Though I believed that the other works of yours were unsurpassable, I was wrong–for the present group of lessons are vastly deeper and more fascinating.

“That you have given them out to the world we thank you: but that your beloved Lao has been the inspiration for this priceless gift makes all of us equally grateful to her.” G. K. California

Another wonderful thing about the need for a balancing mate is the fact that God will always send you to–or lead you to the exactly right mate at the time of greatest need if you let no other motive than that of need creep into your desire. Many mis-matings have been made because of motives other than need for mutual balance in all things, have crept in.

That is not only God’s way of working but Lao and I have demonstrated it, even as to the time element. My greatest need for Lao was in 1946 which was the time set in The Divine Iliad for beginning my teachings, and after Lao searched throughout the world for the right way to serve God and man, her need was also met at a time when destiny set it for both of us.

I tell you this as a demonstration of what we are teaching as well as to share our joy and confidence with you–our friends. I tell it to you also because we K N O W that God works equally with us, balancing our every effort when we work knowingly in balance with Him.

That is partly what is meant by the promise–“and all things else will be added unto you”–for one who has found the kingdom of heaven. Working knowingly with God’s law of love gives one the very maximum of power, peace and happiness in all things, and most certainly [with] one’s lifelong, moment to moment co-worker and companion in all things is a very important element in everyone’s life.

In the preceding lessons I have been stressing the principle of BALANCE and balanced interchange between pairs of opposites which have lost their balance by dividing it in material bodies, and must forever seek it in the production of divided material bodies. That is what Creation, and “the creative urge” means.

The following three lessons will deal with this subject exclusively because you will forever flounder in all of your efforts until dynamic knowledge of the creative principle and balanced creative processes replaces the vagueness of your present guessings and experimental decisions.

Until we have this knowledge we are well or ill–we succeed or fail–we are loved or not loved–we have happiness or misery–and do not know WHY. We have no control of our actions beyond our knowledge of what unbalanced them. We, likewise, have no control over material things or people until we have dynamic knowledge of the divided thought universe in which we operate every moment of our lives.

You must fully KNOW that all you are doing at all times is producing thought imaged bodies for your ideas and desires–and that you are doing it through sex exchange in this electrically sensed universe which continually produces thought bodies–and nothing else.

And that is all that God does, for that is what Creation is.

No matter who you are, or what your station in life, all you do throughout life is what God does–create formed bodies in your image for your thought imagined forms.

When I speak of creating bodies I do not mean just organic bodies of living things. I mean THOUGHT BODIES OF IDEAS–for that is what a musician gives to his idea, or an inventor to his, [or] a housewife who creates a body for her idea of–and desire for a pie–or of an architect’s idea for a temple–for we are all perpetually creating bodies–and naught else.

It is, therefore, of vital importance that you know how God creates bodies for His divided ONE IDEA. If you create them the same way God does, you get the maximum out of life. It is because we do not create bodies in the same way that God does, that we lose out to the degree of our lack of knowing.

I hope you are going to bear with me for telling you W H Y we have created such disorder in our individual and global lives as of today. I know you will forgive me–for if you ask of yourself deep down you cannot fail to see that I am right. The reason is that we are still primates as a mass. Mankind has only begun [to] unfold spiritually. He has only just begun to KNOW instead of SENSE.

The few who have unfolded beyond primacy must help unfold the rest of the human race in its age-long search for the kingdom of heaven.

With our love and blessings,

I am Sincerely yours,

Walter Russell

P.S. Please remember that BALANCE is the very foundation of Creation, as it is also Y O U R foundation. The next group of lessons will fully explain how the thought bodies of all your ideas are founded upon that fulcrum of the universe.
