thinking�察�and instead of taking external facts as our starting point�察�taking 

the inherent nature of mental power as our starting point。 We have already 

gained   two   great   steps   in   this   direction�察  �first   by   seeing   that   the   whole 

manifested cosmos could have had its origin nowhere but in mental power�察�

and secondly by realizing that our own mental power must be the same in 

kind with that of the Originating Mind。 

     Now we can go a step further and see how this power in ourselves can 

be perpetuated and intensified。 By the nature of the creative process your 

mind is itself a thought of the Parent Mind�察�so�察�as long as this thought of 

the Universal Mind subsists�察�you will subsist�察�for you are it。 But so long as 

you   think   this   thought   it   continues   to   subsist�察  �and   necessarily   remains 

present in the Divine Mind�察�thus fulfilling the logical conditions required 

for the perpetuation of the individual life。 A poor analogy of the process 

may      be   found     in  a   self´influencing      dynamo       where     the   magnetism 

generates   the   current   and   the   current   intensifies   the   magnetism   with   the 

result of producing a still stronger current until the limit of saturation is 

reached�察�only in the substantive infinitude of the Universal Mind and the 

potential infinitude of the Individual Mind there is no limit of saturation。 

Or   we   may   compare   the   interaction   of   the   two   minds   to   two   mirrors�察  �a 

great and a small one�察�opposite each other�察�with the word ;Life; engraved 

on the large one。 Then�察�by the law of reflection�察�the word ;Life; will also 

appear   on   the   image   of   the   smaller   mirror   reflected   in   the   greater。   Of 

course these are only very imperfect analogies�察�but if you car once grasp 

the idea of your own individuality as a thought in the Divine Mind which

is able to perpetuate itself by thinking of itself as the thought which it is�察�

you have got at the root of the whole matter�察�and by the same process you 

will not only perpetuate your life but will also expand it。 

     When we realize this on the one hand�察�and on the other that all external 

conditions�察�including the body�察�are produced by thought�察�we find ourselves 

standing   between   two   infinites�察  �the   infinite   of   Mind   and   the   infinite   of 

Substancefrom   both   of   which   we   can   draw   what   we   will�察  �and   mould 

specific conditions out of the Universal Substance by the Creative Power 

which   we   draw   in   from  the   Universal   Mind。   But   we   must   recollect   that 

this is not by the force of personal will upon the substance�察�which is an 

error that will land us in all sorts of inversion�察�but by realizing our mind as 

a channel through which the Universal Mind operates upon substances in a 

particular way�察�according to the mode of thought which we are seeking to 

embody。   If�察  �then�察  �our   thought   is   habitually   concentrated   upon   principles 

rather than on particular things�察�realizing that principles are nothing else 

than the Divine Mind in operation�察�we shall find that they will necessarily 

germinate   to   produce   their   own   expression   in   corresponding   facts�察  �thus 

verifying the words of the Great Teacher�察 �Seek ye first the Kingdom of 

God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you。; 

     But we must never lose sight of the reason for the creative power of 

our thought�察�that it is because our mind is itself a thought of the Divine 

Mind�察�and that consequently our increase in livingness and creative power 

must be in exact proportion to our perception of our relation to the Parent 

Mind。   In   such   considerations   as   these   is   to   be   found   the   philosophical 

basis    of  the   Bible   doctrine    of  ;Sonship�察─    �with   its  culmination     in  the 

conception of the Christ。 These are not mere fancies but the expression of 

strictly scientific principles�察�in their application to the deepest problems of 

the individual life�察�and their basis is that each one's world�察�whether in or 

out of the flesh�察�must necessarily be created by his own consciousness�察�and�察�

in its turn�察�his mode of consciousness will necessarily take its colour front 

his conception of his relation to the Divine Mind to the exclusion of light 

and   colour�察  �if   he   realizes   no   Divine   Mind�察  �and   to   their   building   up   into 

forms of beauty in proportion as he realizes his identity of being with that 

All´Originating Spirit which is Light�察�Love�察�and Beauty in itself。 Thus the

great   creative   work   of Thought   in   each   of   us   is   to   make   us   consciously 

;sons and daughters of the Almighty�察─�realizing that by our divine origin 

we     can   never    be   really    separated     from    the   Parent    Mind     which     is 

continually       seeking     expression      through     us�察  �and    that   any    apparent 

separation   is   due   to    our   own   misconception   of   the   true   nature   of   the 

inherent   relation   between   the   Universal   and   the   Individual。   This   is   the 

lesson   which   the   Great   Teacher   has   so   luminously   out   before   us   in   the 

parable of the Prodigal Son。

           THE GREAT AFFIRMATIVE。 



     The   Great     Affirmative   appears       in  two   modes�察     �the   cosmic    and   the 

individual。 In its essence it is the same in both�察�but in each it works from a 

different standpoint。 It is always the principle of Beingthat which is�察�as 

distinguished from that which is not�察�but to grasp the true significance of 

this saying we must understand what is meant by ;that which is not。; It is 

something   more   than   mere   non´existence�察  �for   obviously   we   should   not 

trouble ourselves about what is non´existent。 It is that which bath is and is 

not   at   the   same   time�察  �and   the   thing   that   answers   to   this   description   is 

;Conditions。;        The    little  affirmative     is   that  which     affirms     particular 

conditions   as   all   that   it   can   grasp�察  �while   the   great   affirmative   grasps   a 

wider   conception�察  �the   conception   of   that   which   gives   rise   to   conditions。 

Cosmically it is that power of Spirit which sends forth the whole creation 

as   its   expression   of   itself�察  �and   it   is   for   this   reason   that   I   have   drawn 

attention in the preceding lectures to the idea of the creation ex nihilo of 

the whole visible unive
