THE EVER-PRESENT GOD
Question—How can one picture an ever-present God in and through everything?
ANSWER—He sees in everything some manifestation of the Divine. He sees in every person some manifestation of the Christ. He sees a potential Divinity in all people.
MIRACLES AND FAITH
Question Are so-called miracles just as demonstrable as ordinary events, if one has sufficient faith?
ANSWER—Yes, a miracle is merely something we are not
(page 17) accustomed to seeing or experiencing. In reality there are no miracles, for what seems to be a miracle is but a supremely natural law. The faith that can bring about the least demonstration can bring about the greatest. Great and small exist only in the consciousness of man. In the Universal Mind there is but ONE ELEMENT—completion or perfection. Whatever an individual can believe in his mind, can become objectified in his experience. Intellectually, he may know a thing for a long time but it will never be more than a mental thing to him until his intellectual knowing is corroborated by his spiritual feeling and conviction. Once this action has taken place, he is so imbued with the Truth about the thing that his certainty on the subject is b0und to project itself into being. Many people demonstrate without consciously reasoning a thing out at all. Their intuitional capacity is greater, or rather more developed, than their intellectual capacity, and by following their hunches, they have proved to themselves that such leadings are trustworthy. Obedience to a true hunch will project into outer manifestation some certain experience, BUT MERELY CONSIDERING THE THING FROM AN INTELLECTUAL POINT OF VIEW WILL NEVER OBJECTIFY ANY EXPERIENCE.
