let us suppose it to be a fact-would there be any end to such a condition? Can you conceive of living any lifetime without in some way creating debts which from this point of view would have to be paid? Would equilibrium ever be restored unless God Himself restored it through love? If the Occultists would state their doctrine in a somewhat different way and say that man must live in his present consciousness of limitation till he corrects that in himself which leads, him to injure another, I could come further into agreement with it. It would then be a statement that man must live as now, till he raises his consciousness to an understanding of God-not a mere mechanical round of retribution-a blind principle without mercy or forgiveness; but even when stated in this way—a way with which I can more fully agree-the doctrine does not seem to me to fill the full measure of the Salvation provided by a loving God. It is only a part of the statement, for Jesus certainly tells me that while the method of gradual experience is one way of raising consciousness to a knowledge of God, there is another way through belief in the Only Begotten Son, in the Christ Mind, by which the false consciousness which we have been accustomed to call "life" can be more speedily corrected and be made right. Can you otherwise conceive that Jesus the exponent of truth should have said, "Be ye therefore perfect," "He that believeth in me hath eternal life"? This way personally I believe to be an absolute trust

in that faith which brings into substance the things hoped for, and the exercise of that faith in the direction of the Christ law. At the end of the journey I believe we will find this to have been fact that there is a way by which we can gain understanding which is a quicker way than that of detailed experience the conviction is with me but I do not see the way with clearness enough as yet to give it expression in words.

The doctrine of Karma seems to me a logical outcome of the idea of a God who contains both Good and evil within Himself, i.e., man's idea of God; the Lord God in the second chapter of Genesis, the God of the carnal law. A contradiction in terms to me, for if evil be of God and God eternal, evil is eternal and will always be.1 Consequently evil would, by this idea, always be a part of the order of life and unescapable. The idea of a God Himself evolving or less than all and all good to me is no foundation for life (a house divided against itself, says Jesus, shall fall) but I have no quarrel with those who believe this. We are all on the same journey and in the end will know who is right to-day in the beliefs now held. God will lead us all eventually to know the truth and to freedom. Neither your opinions nor mine nor those of the Occultists will change the truth. You recall that the Bible says, "not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law till all be fulfilled," but it also says, "love is the fulfilling of the law." See Psalm 146: 6.

Reverse the word fulfill.

Read it "filled full" and

"filling full" in these two quotations and see if you get a new meaning.

"In my Father's House [the real spiritual body of man] are many mansions [many ways of expressing the ideas of God]." "I go [I live] to prepare a place for you [I live that you may know how to live in the consciousness of God], that where I am [now in the true consciousness of God] there ye may be [now] also."

I can only say try this way if you have not, for only by rising to somewhat of the consciousness of the unreality of matter and only by worshiping God alone and ceasing to worship matter in the person of your so-called physical body, can you demonstrate these things to yourself as realities of spirit.

I cannot urge too strongly upon the reader the study of the Scripture passages which follow, for only thus will the book be understood. Before reading the passages, please refer to and read paragraph 2, on page 40, and the note on page 166.

THE TWO MINDS IN MAN

Galatians 4: 19-31. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed [the Christ mind become regnant] in you,

I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. ! Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the Mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage [carnal law and mind], which is Agar.

For this Agar is Mount Sinai [from which the ten commandments] in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above [Christ mind] is free, which is the mother of us all.

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted [the struggle between false and true conceptions] him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free

woman.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Matt. 6: 24, 31-33. No man can serve two masters [mortal and spiritual mind]; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [See remarks about those who take an extreme though a wrong attitude.]

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God [spiritual consciousness], and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you [in sufficient quantity].

II. Cor. II: 3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent [carnal mind] beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ [the truth of the mind of Christ].

Jeremiah 29: 8, 11, 12, 13. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners [carnal minds], that be in the midst of you [each of you], deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed [sense of matter].
