centrated effort put into the study of ourselves. In truth,
it is evident that only thru the medium of our own souls
may we learn of God at all, if we may define the soul
as follows: The soul of a man is all that he is, has been
or may become; the sum total of his life and consciousness,
spirit and form, individuality and personality, mind
and body; that which is positively centered by the ego
or I, and receptively limited by the self or me.
In the study and review of our own souls, our thought
intuitively' reverts to God, the author of our being and
source if our existence. In this profound gravitation
we may reach out in heart search toward the Greater
Self, perceiving the pattern and inspiring the substance
of what it is possible for us to become. Just within-beyond,
around-that possibility, by eliminating all egoism
and selfishness, we may feel the Presence and Power that
is beyond our adequate means to absorb or to express.
In this state we may be said to feel with the whole
soul, knowing God the All-Father to be altogether near
and indwelling yet all-powerful and full of light with a
depth and intensity of mercy immearsurable. In this
communion, we acquire a keener perception of our limitations
and thru "a renewing of the mind" obtain an extention
of consciousness even unto a clear conception of
the Christ of our becoming.
