“Since all is life, boundless, quivering, moving, active life; and since what we call individualized substances – a piece of steel, a crystal, a plant, an animal, a man – are individualized centers of thought; and since all these centers of thought and forces unite to make up one grand body that we call our planet; and since our planet earth is only one “electron”, as it were, of our solar system, which is a great grand atom; and since our universe is made up of multitudes of these atoms, then, is it not possible that multitudes of universes make one great body?
We are told that there are no bounds to space, that there is no limit to God’s universe, so we may reasonably conclude that all these universes are molecules, as it were, making up one grand body, and this body is the life, the substance of Divinity; that all these universes are governed by the indwelling mind which we call God; that all the movements of the heavenly bodies as well as earthly bodies, telescopic as well as microscopic, are by virtue of the Infinite Will?
The strength in the cable is the strength of the Almighty will, the strength, the power, that gives to everything its bounds. “He gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not pass his commandment.” (Proverbs 8:29). Therefore, the revelation that the name of the Almighty is Yahveh, the “I will be what I will to be”, has furnished a conception by which we may form at least an idea of the all-pervading mind and executive will of the God of all systems, if not universes.
We know something of the actions of will in the body. Is something the matter with the foot, the mind takes cognizance of it and sends to the foot will-power. How does it send that will from the head to the extremities of the body? Can you tell us? Ah, we may talk of nerve force, of electric currents, and so on, but how little we know of that which we call electricity!
We see a man who lives a highly moral life, so filled with electricity that by a little friction he can light the gas with his fingers, and this force seems to be the same that has been harnessed to run our railroads, and to serve in our various industries; and this Will, Yahveh, the God of the universe, may express Himself, Itself, from one end of the universe to the other, by the agency that we call electricity or some element to us more subtile, and cause to be or not to be, according to Infinite Law, in the same way that we take charge of and control our own bodies.
Thus, in considering Yahveh to be the God and Power of the universe, we may safely say that as in the minute, man, the microcosm, so in God the macrocosm – the mind that fills all space, all worlds, all systems; the one God, the one mind, the one force, making up all that we call separate individuals, or universes.
The quotations in this chapter come from the ablest minds of our time and they unite in proving that the best thoughts of the age come to about the same conclusions that Revelation came to centuries ago, and they thus give circumstantial proof of the truth of Revelation. They also give evidence that the human mind, if left free to act from its higher self, is led by that higher and spiritual individuality to the same conclusions that were announced by prophets and seers in the ages past. The only thing that now remains is for the scientists to recognize the language. For now, “Science” and “Revelation” meet as strangers from a far country, but one day they will meet as friends, then they will see eye to eye and rejoice in the mutual light of each other’s mentality – a light, which neither can claim as all his own.”
