We speak of ourselves as separate beings because we have lost sight of the central unity of all life. We are not separated from it in reality any more than the branch is separated from the tree on which it grows, but if the branch could be supposed to have a small mind peculiar to itself and the tree a larger mind peculiar to itself, this would illustrate very well the difference between the state of consciousness which becomes functional or acts in the personal mind and that entire, whole, perfect and complete Consciousness which projects the personal, that Unity which projects from Itself Plurality, the One making Itself the Many.

I use the star as a diagram because it shows in a way, so far as any symbol can express verity, how it is that the One becomes Many. It does it by radiation from its own center.

Now, you know Plato says: "If One is, the One can not be Many." That is quite true.

Our One does not break itself up or become less Itself because it becomes Many. And now notice the difference between being and becoming. Plato does not say, "The One can not become Many;" he says, "The One can not be Many."

Being and becoming are not synonymous terms, for being stands for the "ding an sick" (thing in itself), while becoming stands for the acting or doing of that "thing in itself."
