plenty, year after year, life after life, century after century, age after age—is only the outbreathing and inbreathing of My Idea as I inspire it forth through the Earth and through You, My Attribute, and through all My other Attributes, during the process of unfolding in our manifest state the perfection of My Nature.

“Yes, I am doing it through You, because You are an expression of Me; because only through You, My Attributes, can I express My Self, can I BE. I AM because You are. You ARE because I AM expressing My SELF.

“I AM in You as the oak is in the acorn. You are I as the sunbeam is the Sun. You are a phase of Me in expression. You, one of My Divine Attributes, are eternally trying to express My perfection through Your mortal personality.

“Just as the artist sees in his mind the perfect picture he wants to paint, but his hand cannot quite portray with the crude mediums of brush and color the true quality and effect he sees; so do You see Me within Your Self and know We are One, but always are prevented, by the imperfection of the earthly material of Your human personality, with its animal body, its mortal mind, and selfish intellect, from perfectly expressing Me.

“Yet I created your body, mind and intellect, in order to express My Self through you. The body I made in the image of My Perfection; the mind I gave to inform you of Me and My works; the intellect I gave to interpret My Ideas as I inspired it to the mind. But you have been so distracted by the human phases of this body, mind and intellect, and their outer uses, that you have forgotten Me, the One and Only Reality within, and Whose Divine Nature I AM ever seeking to express to and through you.

“But the time is soon here when the outward uses shall no longer distract, and My Reality shall be revealed to you in all the glory of My Perfection within You.”

A MAN shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place; as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. —Isaiah 32:2.
