conceptions. When the inner vision comes, we see that God is the only Creator, and that we live by the power of His consciousness, and that we are brought forth by the impelling Spirit of His Love. When you and I see imperfection, it does not mean that in this place God is working imperfectly. It is we who are seeing imperfection. God’s work is perfect; man’s conception of it is often imperfect or partial. Imperfect seeing, then, is the cause of our list of sorrows and evils.
When in the hour of silence or in the time of activity, it is possible for us to free our mentality from beliefs of limitation, and the soul, standing conscious of its oneness with God, looks out upon the universe with the God-Vision, it realizes truth. We see that the temporal experiences of sorrow and lack are the results of ignorance and are unimportant compared with the real experiences. In our earnest attempt to dissolve these misconceptions, we see that after all temporal [24] experience is like a little shadow passing across the face of the sun. You and I are coming into the understanding of the affirmation, God is All. God is His world.
God-Mind is speaking through us.
God is working by means of man.
Divine Love is radiating through us.
God-Light is the light of the world.
There is no darkness in the Light that is illumining the Universe.
We live to serve; true service means cooperating with God in His activity.
