THE TRUE CHARACTER OF BEING

...will open up the mind to a consciousness of the Inner One A term for the divine spark or true spiritual self within a person, and reveal many things that are hidden from the natural man A biblical reference (1 Corinthians 2:14) to a person who understands the world only through physical senses rather than spiritual insight.

The fact is, Truth cannot be imparted—it must be individually experienced. The presence of the Divine Mind in the soul cannot be told in words; it can be hinted at and referred to in parables, and compared to this or that, but never described exactly as it is. This ability of the individual mind to combine the ideas of Divine Mind into its own consciousness makes each of us the "only begotten son" John 3:16; used here to emphasize that every person is a unique and direct expression of God, a particular and special creation. No two individuals in all the universe are exactly alike, because there is always diversity in the ideas taken from the Divine Mind.

The truth is, then, that God is Principle, Law, Being, Mind, Spirit, All-Good, All-Powerful original: "Omnipotent", All-Knowing original: "Omniscient", Everywhere-Present original: "Omnipresent", Unchangeable, Creator, Father, Cause, and Source of all that is.

God is individually formed in the consciousness of each of us and is known to us as "Father" when we recognize Him within us as our Creator, as our mind, as our life, and as our very being.

Mind has Ideas; Ideas have Expression. All manifestation The physical appearance or visible result of a thought or spiritual reality in our world is the result of the ideas we are holding in our minds and expressing.

To bring forth or manifest the harmony of the Divine Mind, or the "kingdom of heaven," all our ideas must be one with Divine Ideas and must be expressed in the Divine Order of that Mind.
