We human beings are built by the same Intelligence and after the same manner as plants. Our healthy and continued existence depends upon the same law. We, too, draw our sustenance from the earth and give it all off again through our pores and lungs. To glaze our skin pores would kill us. To shut off our breath would kill us. In either case our giving off would be curtailed beyond our limit of endurance. And, of course, to cut ourselves entirely loose from earth (at present)—to cut off our supply of food and water, would end our existence. So we try to maintain a poise of receiving and giving, to the end that we keep on living. Eternal life depends upon eternal poise of receiving and giving. It depends upon our ability to LET life flow through us, unimpeded and freely. This is the law of being.

• Law is omnipresent. Not a crack nor cranny in all the universe, in all time and space, which is not filled with Law. No place so tiny that the Law is crowded out. No place so large that the Law is dissipated into nothingness. . Law is the all-pervading “fourth dimension” of matter, as well as of spirit.

Two and two make four. This is Law. It works just the same whether it expresses through worlds or atoms, or through ideas only. Two worlds and two worlds are four worlds; two ideas and two ideas are four ideas.

The law of perpetual flow is the law of continued existence of any form, whether it be “physical,” “mental” or “spiritual.”

A physical body which refuses to give off as much as it receives quickly dies; if it persists in giving off more than it receives it quickly dissipates itself. A mind which refuses to receive as much as it gives, soon grows weak; if it refuses to give it stagnates and decays.

Do you see that the law of life is a good circulation? And that it works in body, mind, and money?

A plant. draws its stream of life from the earth. Man has loosed himself from the earth and is learning to depend less and less upon it as his source of supply. He is learning to live not by bread alone, but by the word. He is drawing his supply more and more fully and consciously from the unseen.

But this does not free him from the law of good circulation. Plants receive carbonicide and give off oxygen. Man
