The substance that we deal with, in itself, is never limited, but we often are, because we draw only what we believe.
Because we are limited is no reason why the Universe should have limitation. Our limitation is only our unbelief; life can give us a big thing or a little thing. When it gives us a little thing, it is not limited, any more that life is limited when it makes a grain of sand, because it could just as well have made a planet. But in the great scheme of things all kinds of forms, small and large, are necessary, which, combined, make the complete whole. The power and substance behind every-thing remain Infinite.

We are not limited by actual boundaries, but by false ideas about life and by a failure to recognize that we are dealing with the Infinite.
Limitation is an experience of the race, but it is not the fault of God, it is the fault of man's perception. And to prove that this is so, let any man break the bonds of the false sense of life and he at once begins to express less and less limitation. It is a matter of the growth of the inner idea.
