1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Identification. Having recognized God as the advancing presence in nature, society,

2
00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:11,240
and your fellow man, and harmonize yourself with all these,

3
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:15,119
and having consecrated yourself to death within you, which impels

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,199
you toward the greatest and the Highest. The next step

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,199
is to become aware of and recognize fully the fact

6
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:24,600
that the principle of power within you is God himself.

7
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,559
You must consciously identify yourself with the Highest. This is

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,880
not some fault or untrue position to be assumed. It

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,679
is a fact to be recognized. You are already one

10
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,759
with God. You want to become consciously aware of it.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,079
There is one substance, the source of all things, and

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,000
this substance has within itself the power that creates all things.

13
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:52,399
All power is inherent in it. This substance is conscious

14
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:57,359
and thinks it works with perfect understanding and intelligence. You

15
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:00,640
know that it is so because you know that substance exists,

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,719
and that consciousness exists, and that it must be substance

17
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:09,760
that is conscious. Man is conscious and things. Man is substance.

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,120
He must be substance, as he is nothing and does

19
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:16,719
not exist at all. If man is substance and things

20
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:21,519
and is conscious, then he is conscious substance. It is

21
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:25,000
not conceivable that there should be more than one conscious substance.

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,920
So man is the original substance, the source of all

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,400
life and power, embodied in a physical form. Man cannot

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,319
be something different from God. Intelligence is one and the

25
00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:40,879
same everywhere, and must be everywhere and attribute of the

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,680
same substance. There cannot be one kind of intelligence in

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,680
God and another kind of intelligence in Man. Intelligence can

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,719
only be an intelligent substance, and intelligent substance is God.

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,879
Man is of one and the same, stuck with God.

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,519
And so all the talents, powers, and possibilities that are

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,000
in God are in man, not just in a few

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,200
exceptional men, but in every one. All power is given

33
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:09,240
to man in heaven and on earth. Is it not

34
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,319
written ye are gods? The principle of power in man

35
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:17,639
is man himself, and man himself is God. But while

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,000
man is original substance and has within him all power

37
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:25,560
and possibilities, his consciousness is limited. He does not know

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,280
all there is to know, and so he is liable

39
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:32,159
to error and mistake. To save himself from these, he

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,960
must unite his mind to that outside him, which does

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,360
know all. He must become consciously one with God. There

42
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,000
is a mind surrounding him on every side, closer than breathing,

43
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,680
nearer than hands and feet. And in this mind is

44
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,479
the memory of all that has ever happened, from the

45
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,240
greatest convulsions of nature in prehistoric days to the fall

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,280
of a sparrow in this present time. And all that

47
00:02:56,479 --> 00:03:00,199
is in existence now as well, howth in this mind

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,840
and is the great purpose that is behind all nature,

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,240
So it knows what is going to be. Man is

50
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,680
surrounded by a mind that knows all there is to know, past,

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,560
present and to come. Everything that men have said, or

52
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:17,280
down or written is present there. Man is of the

53
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,400
same one, identical stuff with this mind. He proceeded from it,

54
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:24,680
and he can so identify himself with it that he

55
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:28,360
may know what it knows. My Father is greater than

56
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,039
I said Jesus, I come from him. I and my

57
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:37,000
Father are one. He shows the Son all things, the

58
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:42,199
spiritual guide you into all truth. Your identification of yourself

59
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,319
with the infinite must be accomplished by conscious recognition on

60
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,120
your part. Recognizing it is a fact that there is

61
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:52,919
only God and that all intelligence is in the one's substance.

62
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:57,000
You must affirm some what after this wise, there is

63
00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:01,439
only one, and that one is everywhere. I surrender myself

64
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:05,039
to conscious unity with the Highest, not I but the Father.

65
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,560
I will to be one with the Supreme and to

66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,919
lead the divine life. I am one with infinite consciousness.

67
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,319
There is but one mind, and I am that mind.

68
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,639
I that speak unto you am he. If you have

69
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:23,920
been thorough in the work as outlined in the preceding chapters,

70
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,360
if you have attained to the true viewpoint, and if

71
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,560
your consecration is complete, you will not find conscious identification

72
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:35,279
heart to attain. And once it is attained, the power

73
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,199
you seek is yours, for you have made yourself one

74
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,720
with all the power there is
