that Egos may reach the stage where they are conscious of the Real Self—of<br />

the Spirit within them, and its relation to the Spirit of the Absolute, and then<br />

go on and on and on, to planes of life and being, and activities of which<br />

even the most advanced of the race may only dream.<br />

As some of the Ancient Yogi Teachers have said: “Men are evolving<br />

into super-men; and super-men into gods; and gods into super-gods; and<br />

super-gods into Something still higher; until from the lowest bit of matter<br />

enclosing life, unto the highest being—yea, even unto The Absolute—there<br />

is an Infinite Ladder of Being—and yet the One Spirit pervades all; is in all,<br />

as the all is in It.”<br />

The Creative Will, of which we have spoken in these lessons, is in full<br />

operation all through Life. The Natural Laws are laws of Life imposed by The<br />

Absolute in his Mental Image. They are the Natural Laws of this Universe,<br />

just as other Universes have other Laws. But The Absolute Itself has no Laws<br />

affecting It—It, in Itself is law.<br />

And these Laws of Life, and Nature, along its varying planes, Material, of<br />

Energy; and Mental; are also, in the Divine Mind, else they would not be<br />

at all, even in appearance. And when they are transcended, or apparently<br />

defied by some man of advanced development, it is only because such a<br />

man is able to rise above the plane upon which such laws are operative. But<br />

even this transcending is, in itself, in accordance with some higher law.<br />

And so, we see that All, high and low—good and bad—simple or<br />

complex—all are contained Within the Mind of the One. Gods, angels,<br />

adepts, sages, heavens, planes,—all, everything—is within the Universe,<br />

and the Universe is Within the Mind of the One. And all is proceeding in<br />

accordance with Law. And all is moving upward and onward, along the lines<br />

of Evolution. All is Well. We are held firmly in The Mind of the One.<br />

And, just as the tendency was from the general Principle toward the<br />

particular Individual Soul, so is there a Reconciliation later on, for the<br />

Individual soul, as it develops and unfolds, loses its sense of Separateness,<br />

and begins to feel its identity with the One Spirit, and moves along the
