THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1935

qualities are inherent in Consciousness and are ever seeking to express their pure and perfect state in pure and perfect forms.”

In other words you should “know the truth that you are a spiritual being; that you are a center and part of the One Consciousness, and have no form or body, but by your thinking you can create and be in a body on any plane of consciousness you will to be—in the physical world, in any of the soul realms, or even in the Kingdom; but these bodies will be only vehicles of expression in consciousness, and are only temporary, as garments for wear as you need them.”

And the fact is, you have created your present body and the conditions and world in which you are now living by thinking them to be true or real—when being pure Spirit or a center of awareness of the One Consciousness, you have but allowed your attention and interest to be drawn to the outer but of consciousness, and there, through desire and thinking, you became lost in the mazes of your own imaginings. Now we will show you just how this was done.

Try to realize that the One Consciousness—the pure Consciousness of God—is ever waiting to express or outmanifest Itself on earth (or in man’s consciousness) even as in Heaven (or in Divine Consciousness); but that this can only be done by man’s thinking—by man’s “seeing” the goodness and perfection of all ideas in God’s Consciousness; and thinking or building pure and perfect thought-forms in his consciousness of what he sees. Then in the course of time, by holding these thought-forms in his mind to the exclusion of any contrary ideas, they outmanifest themselves as established “things” in his consciousness and therefore in his world.

But man, through wrong teachings and beliefs way back from the beginning, has believed himself to be separate and different from God, from the One Consciousness of which he is a part; and so his thinking, in the darkness of his “separate” mind, has caused him to build around the ideas that came to him from the One Consciousness sadly imperfect forms, and to limit them with all kinds of crude and deficient qualities that he fancied were their nature, resulting in his body, his affairs and his world being what they now appear to be to his mortal senses.
