establishes limits where one begins and the other ends, and thus we are no longer dealing with the Infinite.

Of course all this is self-evident to the mathematician, who at once sees the absurdity of attempting to multiply or divide Infinity; but the non-mathematical reader should endeavour to realise the full meaning of the word "Infinite" as that which, being without limits, necessarily occupies all space and therefore includes all that is. The announcement that God is ONE is, therefore, the mathematical statement of the Universal Presence of Spirit, and the phrase "I AM" is the grammatical statement of the same thing.

And because the Universal Spirit is the Universal Life Itself, "over all, through all, and in all", there is yet a third statement of it, which is its Living statement: the reproduction of it in the man himself; and these three statements are one and cannot be separated. Each implies the two others, like the three sides of an equilateral triangle, and therefore the First of all the Commandments is that we shall recognise THE ONE. As numerically all other numbers are developed from unity, so all the possibilities of ever-expanding Life are developed from the All-including UNIT of Being, and therefore in this Commandment we find the root of our future growth to all eternity. This is why both Moses and Jesus assign to it the supreme place.
