has evolved by the attainment of self-recognising individuality.

The new personality thus generated may be considered as the child of the individual soul which gives birth to it; and since there is only ONE Spirit anywhere and everywhere, it can be only another mode of the original ONE. Consequently, the "Son" who is thus born to David, "the Beloved", is himself "the Everlasting Father", and thus the answer to the sacred puzzle is that the man who has really learned the inner meaning of the words "know thyself" discovers that the true I AM in himself is one with the Universal I AM, which is the root of all individualised being.

Salvation

It is in the light of these sublime truths that the Name of "the Son" is equally with that of "the Father" the Sacred name, in the true knowledge of which salvation is alone to be found. For what do we mean by "Salvation"? "That we might be saved from the hand of all that hate us" is the answer; that is, from the power of everything that militates against our enjoyment of the fullest life. That we might attain to continually increasing degrees of Life was the declared object of the Master's mission, and therefore salvation means the power to ask and receive that our joy may be full; and the only way this power can ever come to us is by the recognition of our own possibilities as being each of us the image and likeness of God.
