THE MIND’S PURPOSE ON EARTH

WE HAVE brought you to that place or state in consciousness where you should now be able to take an advanced step, one that will change you from your present sense of intelligent passivity to one of conscious active power as a creator, as a ray of God’s Intelligence and Power.

If you can see it, everything that has gone before in your human life, all that was gained from experience and previous instruction, as well as from this series of articles, has been but to teach your human mind the reason and purpose of its existence.

We have been explaining in these articles to your mind all about itself, about you as being a soul, about the mind as being your instrument, and about both your mind and soul as being an outer extension of God’s Consciousness.

In fact, your mind should now know all about itself, its powers, its purpose and its limitations; should know its exact relation to you; should look to you as its master and realize that from you came all that it ever knew, all its powers and all its possibilities.

Indeed, by this time, it should know almost all that you know about these inner truths; that it is but your outer consciousness, your instrument and medium of expression; that back of it and using it are both you, and God, Who is all that it and you are—that it is really God, because being an extension of God’s Consciousness, it really knows it, it has all of God’s Intelligence and Powers to use, if it chooses to use them.

Can you see what we mean? It is your mind that has been reading and absorbing all these great truths, and if it has been truly building them into its consciousness so that they are now an integral part of it, your mind has gained an understanding that has made it into a Divine Intelligence, that should now fully know Who it is and of What it is a part. Yes, your outer human mind should know this.

We wonder how many minds that read really know it—know the difference between that which reads these words, and you—and can turn within and there know you! Until they can do this and can know that they are not you, it will do little good to read
