Life and Mind can never evolve
from blind Energy or Force, for
the reason given a moment
ago: "Nothing can rise higher
than its source - nothing is
evolved unless it is involved nothing manifests in the
effect, unless it is in the cause.
"And so THE ALL cannot be
mere Energy or Force, for, if it
were, then there would be no
such things as Life and Mind
in existence and we know
better than that, for we are
Alive and using Mind to
consider this very question
and so are those who claim
that Energy or Force is
Everything.
What is there then higher than
Matter or Energy that we know
to be existent in the Universe?
LIFE AND MIND!
Life and Mind in all their
varying degrees of
unfoldment! "Then," you ask,
"do you mean to tell us that
THE ALL is LIFE and MIND?"
Yes! And No! Is our answer.
If you mean Life and Mind as
we poor petty mortals know
them, we say No! THE ALL is
not that! "But what kind of Life

and Mind do you mean?" you
ask.
The answer is "LIVING MIND",
as far above that which
mortals know by those words,
as Life and Mind are higher
than mechanical forces, or
matter - INFINITE LIVING MIND
as compared to finite "Life and
Mind." We mean that which the
illumined souls mean when
they reverently pronounce the
word, "SPIRIT!"
"THE ALL" is Infinite Living
Mind - the Illumined call it
SPIRIT!
