What our ancestors thought is the pattern after which we cut our thinking. Thinking is a process in mind.
All processes come to an end.
Every thought has its premise, its stage of action as a reasonable proposition, and its conclusion. Instead of recognizing the power to think as simply a faculty of mind, it assumes it to be the whole of mind and all of itself. This identification of the free I AM with its creations brings about a world of illusion. Instead of accomplishment Page 90 through an equilibrium of faith and works, it sees no way of reaching the goal except through violent and continued action. To such, existence is not the joyous dominion over many obedient powers, but the rebellious slave of one.
