EVIDENCE OF DIVINITY 

EVIDENCE OF DIVINITY

Even your ability to analyze the "I AM" is a direct spiritual evidence of Divinity.  If it were not there to analyze you could not analyze it, nor would it occur to you to even attempt an analysis.  It is only necessary to accept that Divinity with no negative thoughts or statements regarding it, to be One with it. 
Analysis, and all efforts to confine it to formalities, keep you from it.  Even in mechanics we produce a thing and then account for it afterwards.  All attempts to analyze it first only indicate its impossibility.
This is true of every progressive step even in our material advancement.  How much more should this same procedure apply with things entirely beyond our present system of human reason.
The airplane was never accepted as a possibility by the world until it actually flew.  A first analysis said it could not fly.  Now we have an infinite amount of explanation as to how and why it is so.  Facts must always come first and they may be accounted for later.

You can never be that which you are not nor can you be anything but what you ARE.  If you can become anything, as you put it, you ARE that.  It is really not a matter of becoming, it is a matter of Being.
Because you accept the "I can't" attitude in any condition or circumstance, you have accepted a division.

Life Is A Process 

Life is a process of inward force working itself out into outward form.  It is the vital principle of the Universe animating all space and all form.

Live Life Abundantly 

 

Live Life Abundantly

Children are happy because they live life abundantly. They put no limitations upon life whatever. The moment we put limitation upon life we cease to live abundantly. There is not a limiting condition in life. Life could not limit itself. It could not be kept away except through your own attitude of thought toward it.

Avoiding Limitation 

 

Avoiding Limitation

One man may look at life through a very narrow opening in a wall. That person says, "I see all of life." The view may face a hill where there is nothing but rocks.

Then next may see trees; the next one sees animated forms moving about.
If we look but through one small opening, we soon hypnotize ourselves into believing that there is no other life within the great expanse of the Universe of life.

If we would take this attitude alone: see the Universe as embodying and expressing the ONE INFINITE life, then we would expand our vision to take in all of life, and there would be no limitation whatever for us.

Life Is Always a Matter of Giving. 

Life is always a matter of giving.  To draw on the Universal life that flows freely throughout infinite space is the priviledge of anyone and his way of living life should be to receive from his source and then give it out to all who are around him, inspiring them to seek life where he has found it.  This is not only the work of the Masters, but it is the work all men should be doing.  This is living life as it should and is really the only life there is.  To merely receive from those about you is not life at all but a constantly contracting existence.  To seek life from the material world is to lose it.
