Whosoever testifies in favor of Truth, though he be far removed from its brightness, is its friend and is making straight the way for its full blaze into his consciousness. To catch this light in his understanding, man must rise out of the sense state into the realm of free ideas. Page 70 18. Those who have made a study of Mind from an independent standpoint, those who have opened themselves to the influx of original ideas from Spirit, have discovered, in a manner inexplicable to mortal sense, that there are apparent creations that are not creations at all, being but transitory formations that lose their cohesion and dissolve when their mental support is withdrawn. These formations are produced by the mind working independently of its wisdom sphere.
Man stands in the Godhead as the imaging faculty.
His failure to ask for this wisdom does not nullify his formative powers, however, because he is by nature the formative faculty of Being. All states are mental states. There is nothing else in all the universe, visible or invisible. Whoever images anything else is throwing on the screen of his universe the crude pictures of an uninspired mentality. Such pictures last for a season, but their own discords are their final destruction.
