"And Ye Are Christ's; and Christ is God's"

"All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's."

Here we have three beings, ourselves, Christ and God; and we are Christ's and Christ is God's. The human is an offshoot of the divine, the divine is an offshoot of the Absolute Itself. Humanity is what we see, Christ is the divine man, God is the Father of all.

The body has a life in matter, the soul has a life in mind and mind has a life in the Spirit. The principle of life ascends from the external to the highest internal and descends from the highest innermost to the lowest outermost. This teaching is as old as time.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

(page 163)

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;

to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues;

But all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one bodv; so also is Christ.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be bond or free;
And have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
