    "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
    ./~\heaven, having the everlasting gospel (good
    news or glad tidings) to preach unto them that
    dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kin
    dred, and tongue, and people." (Rev. 14:6).
    "And this gospel ('the word of truth, the gospel
    of your salvation') shall be preached in all the
    world for a witness unto all nations; and then
    shall the end (of material beliefs) come." (Matt.
    24:14). cix^

    To the "millions of unprejudiced minds—
    simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst
    in the desert"—I offer you i-est and drink in the
    name of Christ. I bring the contents of this
    book as an oasis in the desert of "mortal mind,"
    to unburden you of the Cross of deception, and
    to Crotun you with the glory of your own im
    mortal Self.
    I accept no other authority than that of my
    own understanding.

    THERE IS NOTHING BUT GOD

    Every apparent problem is due to a belief in a


    separate self-hood. "Man divorced from Spirit,
    God, would lose his entity," and Spirit divorced
    from man would be a nonentity. In other words,
    there would be no God, without man.
    As shocking as it may seem to the unenlight
    ened thinker 1 am compelled, through divine
    understanding, to state tvith positive conviction
    that God is man's highest conception of good.
    In Hebrew, the term for God is good.
    Did yo2i ever stop to consider the fact that
    your God is dependent tipon your oivn concep
    tion of good for existence? If you did not have
    Consciousness, you would not have a God, for
    you would not knoiv good. If we are to pro
    gress, we must look facts squarely in the face and
    discard all limited conceptions of God.
    We have declared an omnipresent God long
    enough—the time is here for us to prove this
    Omnipresence. Tennyson wrote "Closer is He
    than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet."
    Can you conceive of God being any closer than
    the discovery that He is your oivn Conscious
    ness? Permit me to call your attention to what
    I believe to be an important point in Science and
    19

    of being when He presented His body absolved


    from death and the grave.
    A few years ago it would not have been wise
    to introduce pure abstractions without their
    correlatives, for the average student was on, what
    has been termed, a "material" basis of conscious
    ness. Today we are compelled to voice the abso
    lute truth—that Spirit and Spirit's manifestation
    is all that there is. "We need no longer "strain at
    gnats and swallow camels," for we perceive that
    there are not two powers, but One.
    "Each successive period of progress is a period
    more humane and spiritual. The only logical
    conclusion is that all is Mind and its manifesta
    tion, from the rolling of worlds, in the most
    subtle ether, to a potato-patch." {Miscellaneous
    Writings, page 26). The importance of "sym
    bolism" is that every object in the manifest
    world reveals the omnipresence of a spiritual
    idea, and by constantly resolving the objects of
    sense into ideas of Sotd, we soon find the king
    dom of heaven within our own consciousness.
    The world of reality can only appear in con
    sciousness just as it appeared to John, the Reve-
    lator, when he saw the "new heaven and a new

    Because they depend upon the dead letter of


    truth instead of animating their words and
    thoughts with the spirit (feeling). "It is the
    spirit that quickeneth—the words that I speak
    unto you, they are the spirit, and they are life."
    Life is existence, therefore, if you wish a thing to
    exist for you, you must give it spirit (feeling).
    Jesus words were "spirit and life" because they
    were audible expressions of his clear realizations
    of good emanating from the power of his own
    Mind. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
    (Prov. 23:7). If a man thinks in his heart he
    feels something, whereas if he thinks with his
    "brain" his thoughts are nothing but mechanical
    vibrations. For this very reason, people who de
    pend wholly upon books and teachers do not
    progress for they have nothing but the letter of
    a message which means nothing until they realize
    (feel) it from the depths of Soul,—then it be
    comes a living reality.

    Is it right to have a definite desire for any


    thing?
    Desire and fulfillment are one and the same
    thing. When you find yourself desiring any par-
