themselves are merely a
grouping of units of force,
called electrons or "ions,"
vibrating and in constant
circular motion. We kick a
stone and we feel the impact it seems to be real,
notwithstanding that we know
it to be merely what we have
stated above. But remember
that our foot, which feels the
impact by means of our brains,
is likewise Matter, so
constituted of electrons and
for that matter so are our
brains. And, at the best, if it
were not by reason of our
Mind, we would not know the
foot or stone at all.
Then again, the ideal of the
artist or sculptor, which he is
endeavouring to reproduce in
stone or on canvas, seems
very real to him. So do the
characters in the mind of the
author; or dramatist, which he
seeks to express so that others
may recognize them. And if
this be true in the case of our
finite minds, what must be the
degree of Reality in the Mental
Images created in the Mind of
the Infinite? Oh, friends, to
mortals this Universe of
Mentality is very real indeed it is the only one we can ever

know, though we rise from
plane to plane, higher and
higher in it. To know it
otherwise, but actual
experience, we must be THE
ALL itself. It is true that the
higher we rise in the scale the nearer to "the mind of the
Father" we reach - the more
apparent becomes the illusory
nature of finite things, but not
until THE ALL finally
withdraws us into itself does
the vision actually vanish.
So, we need not dwell upon the
feature of illusion. Rather let
us, recognizing the real nature
of the Universe, seek to
understand its mental laws
and endeavour to use them to
the best effect in our upward
progress through life, as we
travel from plane to plane of
being. The Laws of the
Universe are none the less
"Iron Laws" because of the
mental nature. All, except THE
ALL, are bound by them.
What is IN THE INFINITE MIND
OF THE ALL is REAL in a
degree second only to that
Reality itself which is vested
in the nature of THE ALL.
So, do not feel insecure or
afraid - we are all HELD
