We see abundance in the Universe. We cannot count the
grains of sand on a single beach. The earth contains untold riches, and the
very air is vibrant with power. Why then is man weak, poor and afraid? The science
of Mind deals with these questions. The divine plan is one of freedom; bondage
is not Infinite-Spirit-ordained. Freedom is the birthright of every living
soul. All of us instinctively feel this. The truth points to freedom, under
law. Thus the inherent nature of man is forever seeking to express itself in
terms of freedom. We do well to listen to this inner voice, for it tells us of
a life wonderful in its scope; of a love beyond our fondest dreams; of a
freedom which the soul craves.
But the great love of the Universe must be one with
the great law of its own being, and we approach love through the law. This then
is the teaching: LOVE and LAW. As the love of Infinite Spirit is perfect, so
the law of Infinity also is perfect. We MUST understand both.
Whatever the nature of any principle may be – insofar as
it is understood by anyone – it may be understood by all who take the time to
investigate. This does not require an unusual degree of intelligence, but rather,
a practical application of what we now know in order that we may increase our
knowledge. The study of Science and Spirituality is a study of the first cause,
and then the ultimate lasting effect, or that invisible essence, that ultimate
stuff and intelligence from which everything comes, the power behind creation –
the Thing Itself!!
We accept this “THING” and believe in it. What we
desire is to know more about it, and how to use it. From proof alone, we know
we are dealing with a definite principle. If one (through the Conscious use of
his knowledge) can produce a certain result, he must know with what he is
dealing. It may seem as though, in dealing with metaphysics, we are dealing
with something to abstract. But what is tangible other than results? Principles
are forever hidden from our eyes. We accept the deductions of science, insofar
as they are proved, and we recognize that they are built upon immutable, but
invisible principles.
