How Can Spirit Create? ~ Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind
"No one has ever plumbed the depths of either the conscious or the subjective life. In both directions we reach out to Infinity, and, since we cannot encompass Infinity, we shall always be expanding and always enlarging our capacity to know and to experience. We do not need to ask why these things are so. There can be no reason given as to why the Truth is true. How can Spirit of Itself create a new form? I do not know. As Newton said, the fact that we are able to announce the mystery is the mystery. We do not say to the physicist who has studied and photographed the atom "WHY does it act as it does?" He knows no more about the reason for its action than we do. All that he knows is, that he has learned something of the way the laws of its nature operate. We do not create laws and principles, but discover and make use of them. Let us accept this position relative to the laws of Mind an Spirit and see what we can do with them, rather than how we may contradict their existence."
