WHO MAY USE THE LAW
Question—Can the same results be obtained by anyone using the law of mind and Spirit without any previous knowledge of this law?
ANSWER—Most certainly. The law of mind and Spirit is a universal law and we are all using it every moment.
INVOLUTION AND EVOLUTION EXPLAINED
Question—What do we mean by involution and evolution?
ANSWER—Before anything can evolve it must first be involved. Before the seed can produce a harvest it must first fall into the ground. The planting of the seed is an idea specializing the law, having a definite purpose, that of producing its own type. The act of involution is a conscious one. The gardener consciously invokes the law. As soon as the seed is planted the natural processes of creation begin. Everything that happens from seed to harvest is intelligent but unconscious, hence a mechanical process. When we study evolution we are studying a mechanism and not a spontaneity. Involution precedes evolution in the creative sequence. Evolution follows involution with a mechanical exactness.
THE INFINITE
Question—Is the infinite neither increased nor decreased by the existence or the non-existence of other realities to which It gives their derived being?
ANSWER—The Infinite is neither increased nor decreased because that to which It gives a derived being is still the Infinite manifesting Itself
SELF-KNOWINGNESS OF SPIRIT
Question—What is meant by the Self-knowingness of Spirit?
ANSWER—By the Self-knowingness of Spirit we meant that (page 2)
God, or First Cause, or Principle, is conscious of Its own Being. It is, and It knows. It knows Itself to be Absolute, All. It knows Itself to be Life, Idea and Manifestation. It knows Itself to be Free Choice and Volition. It knows that there is nothing outside of Itself. It is conscious of Itself as All there is. It knows Itself to be Truth, Love, Cause and Effect. Spirit is the only Power in the Universe that is conscious of Itself, or of Its Beingness.
