The Sixth Lesson: Within the Mind of the One.807
lines of unfoldment, until it becomes in Conscious Union with God. Spiritual
Evolution does not mean the “growth of the Spirit,” for the Spirit cannot
grow—it is already Perfect. The term means the unfoldment of the Individual
Mind, until it can recognize the Spirit Within. Let us close this lesson with the
Central Thought.
There is but one. That one is Spirit. In the Infinite Mind of that one
spirit there arose the Mental Image or Thought-Form of this Universe.
Beginning with the Thought of the Principle in Mind; and passing on to the
Principle of Energy; and then on to the Principle of Matter; proceeded the
Involutionary Process of Creation. Then, upward began the Evolutionary
Process, and Individual Centers or Units were formed. And the tendency,
and evolutionary urge is ever in the direction of “unfolding” within the
Ego of the Realization of the Indwelling Spirit. As we throw off sheath after
sheath, we approach nearer and nearer to the spirit within us, which is the
One Spirit pervading all things. This is the Meaning of Life—the Secret of
Evolution. All the Universe is contained Within the Mind of The One. There
is Nothing outside of that Infinite Mind. There is no Outside, for the One is
All in All; Space, Time, and Laws, being but Mental Images in that Mind, as
are likewise all shapes and forms, and phenomena. And as the Ego unfolds
into a realization of Itself—Its Real Self—so does its Wisdom and Power
expand. It thus enters into a greater and greater degree of its Inheritance.
Within the Mind of the One, is All there is. And I, and Thou, and All Things
are here within that Infinite Mind. We are always “held in Mind” by The
Absolute—are always safe here. There is nothing to harm us, in Reality, for
our Real Self is the Real Self of the Infinite Mind. All is Within the Mind of the
One. Even the tiniest atom is under the Law, and protected by the Law. And
the Law is All there Is. And in that Law we may rest Content and Unafraid.
May this Realization be yours.
Peace be with you all.
