We humans have both the perceptive and the reflective tendency and by the development of the latter we look further and further back into the very heart of being and it is there we see it all to be one. It is there that I am all and you are all.

Now, this ALL or The Supreme Intelligence projects itself into the world, into the material world. In fact, it becomes the material world and is in process of becoming it every day and every hour. It makes and unmakes its world continually. Sometimes it seems not to be doing it well, in times of catastrophe and sorrow, but that is because we only see a part of the whole. How can you judge of a beautiful painting by seeing a torn fragment of the same? And yet, let a psychometrist place that torn fragment on his forehead and instantly the whole painting presents itself to his vision.

I think we have glimpses of the Great and Beautiful Whole in some such psychic fashion, else our faith would fail us in times of sore trial. -Why is it that when we see the part we postulate the whole? Why is it that when we see imperfection we postulate perfection? We, who have never seen the whole; we, who have never seen perfection. Is it not that the whole which is in itself perfection lays its impress on the mind, thus moving it to work out in the external the beauty and glory of the life within?

I believe it to be so.
