WHAT the MYSTICS HAVE TAUGHT
Ernest Holmes
Individuality
"The higher the sense of Truth, the greater will be the realization of the uniqueness of individual character and personality. The real Self is God-given and cannot be denied. It is the place where God comes to a point of Individualized and Personified Expression. "I am the light of the world."
Individuality means self-choice, volition, conscious mind, personified Spirit, complete freedom and a Power to back up that freedom. There could not be a mechanical or an unspontaneous individuality. Individuality must be created in the image of Perfection and let alone to make this stupendous discovery for itself; it emerges from the Universal. Psychology teaches the personification of this individuality, which is true as far as it goes, but metaphysics universalizes it by unifying it with the Whole. There is a Universal nature of Man, inherent within him, which causes the manifestation of his personality. The Spirit of God.
We have now discovered a unity with the Whole on the three sides of life, or from all three modes of expression. We are one with the body of the physical world; One with the Creative Law of the Universe in the mental world; and One with the Spirit of God in the conscious world.
Could we ask or hope for more? Would it be possible for more to be given? We could not ask for more and no greater freedom could be given. From now on we shall expand, grow and express only to the degree that we consciously cooperate with the Whole."
