"LAW OF CORRESPONDENCE" DEFINED
Question—What is meant by the "Law of Correspondence?"
ANSWER—By the "law of correspondence" is meant that there must be a subjective correspondence for every objective fact. The cause of all objective things exists in the field of subjectivity and for everything which transpires in the objective world there is an exact corresponding cause in the mental or spiritual world. This world responds by corresponding, through a law of reflection inherent within itself.
HOW INVISIBLE BECOMES VISIBLE
Question—You stated that when an individual's prayers are answered "that the invisible becomes visible." Please explain just how the invisible can become visible.
ANSWER—Creation is eternally going on. Prayer sets an invisible power in motion. This invisible power, which is Spirit, becomes form when there is a definite nucleus of thought around Which it may take form. If you go into a garden you will see the invisible becoming visible, daily. The seed is the impulse, the law does the rest. So it is with thought.
MANIFESTING THE POTENTIAL BEING
Question—Explain the difference between a becoming God and an unfolding Infinite.
ANSWER—God is n0t becoming by reason of the fact that there is nothing for the Infinite to change into but Itself. An unfolding Infinite means a continuous and a progressive manifestation of that which already is potential in Reality. First, we have God, or Being, and as the complement of that which is First Cause, we have a becoming, a manifestation, or a creation (page 11) which is eternally going on. Becoming, is a progressive series of unfoldment. It is the passing of Spirit into form as the result of Its own instinctive and necessary self-contemplation.
