The Fifth Lesson: The One and the Many.781
And, if this be so, then indeed must All be Mind, and Mind be All—meaning,
of course, the Infinite Mind, not the finite manifestation that we call Mind.
Then, if this reasoning has been correct, then must we think that All Life—
all the Universe—Everything except the Absolute itself—must be held in the
Infinite Mind of the Absolute!
And, so, by the exercise of our Reason—by listening to, and examining its
reports, we have been brought face to face—eye to eye—heart to heart—
with the Teaching of the Illumined Ones, which has come down to us as
the Highest Teaching of the Yogi Philosophy! For this, indeed, is the highest
conception of Truth in the Yogi Teachings—this, that all manifestations
and emanations of the absolute are mental creations of the absolute—
thought-forms held in the infinite mind—the infinite spirit in them—
and they in the infinite spirit. And that the only Real Thing about Man is
The Spirit involved in the Thought-Form, the rest is mere Personality, which
changes and ceases to be. The Spirit in the Soul of Man, is the Soul Of The
Soul, which is never born; never changeth; never dieth—this is The Real Self of
Man, in which, indeed, he is “One with the Father.”
This is the point where the Reasoning Mind of Man has come to a sense
of Agreement with the Highest Yogi Teachings. Let us now pass on to the
Teachings themselves—let us listen to The Message of Truth.
In this consideration of the Highest Yogi Philosophy, and its teaching, we
would again say to our students, that which we said to them in ”The Advanced
Course”—that we do not attempt to teach the “why” of the Manifestation
of The Absolute, but rest content with delivering the Message of the Yogi
Sages, which deals with the “how.” As we stated in the lessons referred to, we
incline to that school of the Higher Teachings, which holds that the “Why”
of the Infinite Manifestation must, of necessity, rest with the Infinite alone,
and that the finite mind cannot hope to answer the question. We hold that
in all the Universal Mind, or in any of its Mind Manifestations, there is to be
found no answer to this question! Wrapped in the Essence of the Absolute
Spirit, alone, is this Final Answer!
