THE NATURE of BEING (continued) ~ Ernest Holmes
"Man's idea of Deity evolves with his other ideas. After a belief in many gods, he comes to realize there is One Mind and One Spirit back of all manifestation. One Spirit, or Self-Conscious Life, acting through the medium of One Mind or Subjective Law, producing many manifestations. Multiplicity comes from Unity without breaking up the Unity of the Whole.
Spirit is Self-Knowing, but Law is automatic and obeys the Will of Spirit, having no alternative other than to obey. Like all law, the Law of Mind is an impersonal force, and because of Its nature It is compelled to act.
Soul and Universal Subjective Mind have the same meaning, and are the Creative Medium of all thought and action. Soul is also the Substance of Spirit, the unformed Stuff, from which all forms are evolved.
Spirit, acting upon Soul, produces Creation. Spirit, Soul and Substance intersphere each other, each being omnipresent. Creation takes place within Spirit, and is the result of the contemplation or the self-knowingness of Spirit. Creation is eternally going on; change is always taking place within that which is Changeless. forms appear and disappear in a Medium which of Itself is formless.
Spirit thinks or knows within Itself, and, as a result of this inner action, Creation manifests. Creation is the play of Life upon Itself, through Divine Self-Imagination. Spirit must create in order to be expressed. Spirit, Life, Soul, Substance, Law and Unity are all Co-Existent and Co-Eternal with each other. The only thing that changes is form. Spirit makes things out of Itself by becoming the thing It makes. There is no effort in the process.
Conscious Mind and Spirit have the same meaning: that part of Reality which is Self-Knowing.
Subconscious and Subjective Mind, Soul and Mental Medium, Universal Subjectivity and Law, all have the same meaning: that part of Reality which acts as Law.
Body, Creation, or the manifest universe, is the result of Spirit acting through Law. Body, Creation, or the manifest Universe is a result of the Knowingness of Spirit.
Spirit alone is Self-Conscious. Law and manifestation are automatic reactions to Spirit.
Soul, or Subjective Mind, Substance or unformed Stuff, and Conscious Spirit permeate all things and all people. There is an Intelligence acting through everything, and everything responds to this Intelligence.
It cannot be too plainly stated that Spirit, or Conscious Intelligence, is the only Self-Assertive Principle in the Universe. "Spirit is the Power that knows Itself," and is the only Power that is self-knowing, everything else is subject to Spirit. The sole and only operation of Spirit is through Its Word, acting as Law through Substance, producing Creation."
