appear in the circle of our objective life�察�we must work upon them from 

the objective stand´point。 This is where many fall short of completed work。 

They realize the subjective or creative process�察�but do not see that it must 

be   followed   by   an   objective   or   constructive   process�察  �and   consequently 

they are unpractical dreamers and never reach the stage of completed work。 

The creative process brings the materials and conditions for the work to 

our hands�察�then we must make use of them with diligence and common´ 

senseGod will provide the food�察�but He will not cook the dinner。 

     This�察  �then�察  �is   the   part   taken   by   the   individual�察  �and   it   is   thus   that   he 

becomes   a   distributing   centre   of   the   Divine   energy�察  �neither   on   the   one 

hand   trying   to   lead   it   like   a   blind   force�察  �nor   on   the   other   being   himself 

under     a   blind   unreasoning       impulsion     from    it。  He   receives     guidance 

because he seeks guidance�察�and he both seeks and receives according to a 

Law which he is able to recognize�察�so that he no more sacrifices his liberty 

or dwarfs his powers�察�than does an engineer who submits to the generic 

laws of electricity�察�in order to apply them to some specific purpose。 The 

more   intimate   his   knowledge   of   this   Law   of   Reciprocity   becomes�察  �the 

more he finds that it leads on to Liberty�察�on the same principle by which 

we   find   in   physical   science   that   nature   obeys   us   precisely   in   the   same

degree to which we first obey nature。 As the esoteric maxim has it ;What 

is   a   truth   on    one    plane    is  a   truth   on    all。;   But   the    key   to   this 

enfranchisement of body�察�mind�察�and circumstances is in that new thought 

which   becomes   creative   of   new   conditions�察  �because   it   realizes   the   true 

order of the creative process。 Therefore it is that�察�if we would bring a new 

order   of   Life�察  �Light�察  �and   Liberty   into   our   lives   we   must   commence   by 

bringing a new order into our thought�察�and find in ourselves the starting 

point   of   a   new   creative   series�察  �not   by  the   force   of   personal   will�察  �but   by 

union with the Divine Spirit�察�which in the expression of its inherent Love 

and Beauty�察�makes all things new。

             THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT。 



     The   three   preceding   lectures   have   touched   upon   certain   fundamental 

truths in   a  definite  orderfirst   the nature   of   the   Originating   Spirit   itself�察�

next the generic relation of the individual to this All´embracing Spirit�察�and 

lastly the way to specialize this relation so as to obtain greater results from 

it   than   spontaneously   arise   by   its   merely   generic   action�察  �and   we   have 

found   that   this   can   only   be   done   through   a   new   order   of   thought。   This 

sequence       is  logical   because     it  implies    a  Power�察    �an   Individual    who 

understands the Power�察�and a Method of applying the power deduced from 

understanding   its   nature。   These   are   general   principles   without   realizing 

which it is impossible to proceed further�察�but assuming that the reader has 

grasped their significance�察�we may now go on to consider their application 

in greater detail。 

     Now this application must be a personal one�察�for it is only through the 

individual that the higher specialization of the power can take place�察�but at 

the same time this must not lead us to suppose that the individual�察�himself�察�

brings the creative force into being。 To suppose this is inversion�察�and we 

cannot      impress    upon     ourselves     too   deeply    that   the   relation   of   the 

individual to the Divine Spirit is that of a distributor�察�and not that of the 

original creator。 If this is steadily borne in mind the way will become clear�察�

otherwise we shall be led into confusion。 

     What�察    �then�察  �is  the   Power     which    we    are   to  distribute�拭   �It  is  the 

Originating Spirit itself。 We are sure that it is this because the new order of 

thought always begins at the beginning of any series which it contemplates 

bringing into manifestation�察�and it is based upon the fact that the origin of 

everything is Spirit。 It is in this that its creative power resides�察�hence the 

person who is in the true new order of thought assumes as an axiomatic 

fact   that   what   he   has   to   distribute�察  �or   differentiate   into   manifestation   is 

nothing else than the Originating Spirit。 This being the case�察�it is evident 

that the PURPOSE of the distribution must be the more perfect expression 

of the Originating Spirit as that which it is in itself�察�and what it is in itself 

is emphatically Life。 What is seeking for expression�察�then�察�is the perfect

Livingness       of  the   Spirit�察  �and   this  expression      is  to  be   found�察   �through 

ourselves�察  �by   means   of   our   renewed   mode   of   thought。   Let   us   see�察  �then�察�

how   our   new   order   of   thought�察  �with   regard   to   the   Principle   of   Life�察  �is 

likely  to   operate   In   our  old   order   of   thought   we   have   always   associated 

Life with the physical bodylife has been for us the supreme physical fact。 

Now�察  �however�察  �we   know   that   Life   is   much   more   than   this�察  �but�察  �as   the 

greater   includes      the   less�察  �it  includes   physical   life   as  one   mode      of  its 

manifestation。   The   true   order   does   not   require   us   to   deny   the   reality   of 

physical life or to call it an illusion�察�on the contrary it sees in physical life 

the completion of a great creative series�察�but it assigns it the proper place 

in that series�察�which is what the old mode of thought did not。 

     When we realize the truth about the Creative Process�察�we see that the 

originating      life  is  not   physical�此   �its  livingness     consists    in  thought    and 

feeling。 By this inner movement it throws out vehicles through which to 

function�察  �and   these   become   living   forms   because   of   the   inner´principle 

which   is   sustaining   them�察  �so   that   the   Life   with   which   we   are   primarily 

concerned in the new order is the life of thought and feeling in ourselves 

as the vehicle�察�or distributing medium�察�of the Life of the Spirit。 

     Then�察�if we have grasped the idea of the Spirit as the great FORMING 

Power�察�as stated in the last lecture�察�we shall seek in it the fountain´head of 

Form as we
