call flesh or matter or "things" is simply the crystallization into form of the thought which it expresses.

3. Cosmic Consciousness makes a world out of itself by simply speaking the Word; the Word is backed up by limitless power and intelligence; and, as you cannot think a thought without thinking it into the infinite of being (since it is one and you are in it) every word that you speak is backed up by all the power of heaven. This is why those who live in the consciousness of the Presence and whose thoughts are set on the highest, get such noble results in character and attainment. This is why those who persistently hold thoughts of fear and failure, or jealousy and revenge, are ultimately overwhelmed. They have set into motion forces which they do not control; and they must bear the consequences. Only our natural selection of the better and the fact that the aggregate of our thinking is in the right direction keeps us from self-destruction. Only our failure to know the best, to believe in it, and to seek it, keeps us from rising to heights supreme and wonderful.

4. Cosmic Consciousness is continuously creative. Everywhere new things are appearing and old are passing away. New birds are born to sing, new roses to bloom, new stars to shine. The whole study of science is merely to discover what the Creative Mind is making and how It is making it. And the province of philosophy and religion is to make the new alignments of life which the new discoveries make possible. Science, philosophy, and religion cannot stand still because God does not stand still. "Behold I make all things new." Human progress is like a vessel ploughing its way through an unknown sea. Some sleep; some watch; and some desire to put about.
