PART ONE

ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS

IN THE BEGINNING

"It is done unto you even as you believe."

 

 

THE WORD GOING FORTH

The word establishes itself as law.

 

 

WHY AND WHAT IS MAN?

Man is the outcome of the desire of the Spirit to make something which expresses the same life that It feels.

We are centers of creative thought activity in the Universal Mind.
Unlimited life is latent in man.

Man not a creator but his thought is creative.

Ignorance is the only bondage.
Freedom is the law of belief.

 

 

THE WORD

As God's word is in the Universe so man's word is in his own life.

 

 

THE MAN WHO HAS ARRIVED
