identical—but such is a grievous error, finding no warrant in the Highest
Yogi Teachings. It is true that all living forms dwell in, and are infilled with the
Universal Life—that All Life is One. We have taught this truth, and it is indeed
Truth, without qualification. But there is still a Higher Truth—the Highest
Truth, in fact—and that is, that even this Universal Life is not the One, but,
instead, is in itself a manifestation of, and emanation from, The One. There
is a great difference here—-see that you perceive and understand it, before
proceeding further.
The One—The Absolute—according to the Highest Teachings, is Pure
Spirit, and not Life, Mind, or Being as we understand them in our finite and
mortal expressions. But, still all Life, Mind, and Being, as we understand
them, spring from, flow from, and emanate from, the One—and more than
this, may be spoken of as reflections of the Life, Mind, and Being of The One,
if we may be permitted to apply the names of finite manifestations to the
Infinite Reality.
So, the Highest Teaching is that the Universal Life infilling all living
things, is not, in itself, the Being and Life of The One—but is rather a great
fundamental emanation of The One, the manner and nature of which will be
spoken of as we proceed. Remember this, please.
Leading up to the Supreme Idea of the One in All—All in One—let us
examine into the report of the Reason upon the nature of the Substance—
the Divine Substance—from which all living forms are shaped; and from
which all that we know as Finite Mind is likewise composed. How can these
imperfect and finite forms be composed of a Divine and Perfect Substance?
This is the question that must occur to the minds of those who are capable
of deep thought on the subject—and it is a question that must be answered.
And it can be answered—and is answered in the Higher Yogi Philosophy.
Let us examine the reports of the Reason, a little further—then shall we be
ready for the Teachings.
Of what can the Substance of the Infinite be composed? Can it be Matter?
Yes, if you are satisfied with the reasoning of the Materialists, and cannot
