In order to do so, we must go back of what appears to the First Cause—to God, the Source of all, and to see Him for what He is; so that we may determine just what is man—being in God’s image and likeness.

We know God to be Pure Consciousness, without form or limitation; infinite, impersonal, conditionless, all encompassing, all including, all filling, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.

If that is God, then man, in his inherent nature, being in His image and likeness, must be all these things. We will show how this must be so.

All we can know of God as Consciousness is by studying ourselves as consciousness. We each have a mind. Our minds we know to be nothing but consciousness. Whose consciousness? There is only One Consciousness—God’s. We can prove that, by getting back within our own consciousness, shutting out all physical sensations and all concepts, beliefs, thoughts and ideas of the outer mind—to where there is only peace, love and light, a pure awareness, and we know we are all there is. In that awareness there is only One. We are that One. We are God.

More than a few have proven this, by being able to reach deep within into that awareness—the real thinkers, the Mystics of the ages. Anyone can prove it who will persist until he frees his consciousness of his mind’s creations or beliefs. And anyone who can do this can heal himself of any inharmony of mind or body—from any untruth, and likewise can heal anyone else. We will show why this is so.

Man, being like God, pure consciousness, has the power to create, to create even his world and all in it, as did God. This he does by thinking, by filling the world of his consciousness with thoughts, concepts, beliefs about the forces in consciousness playing all around him.

As a force or vibration—which is all there is in pure consciousness—attracts man’s attention and excites his interest, for he is a center of awareness, he begins to think about that force—to picture in his consciousness what he assumes it to be. He pictures that force as he imagines it, and according to his interest and desire for greater knowledge of it and his capacity to understand its nature, he adds more qualities and substance to his
