impossibility, he utilises its boundless stores by particularising, from moment to moment, the specific desires, powers, and attractions which at that moment he requires to employ.
And, since the Energy from which he draws is infinite in quantity and unspecialised in quality, there is no limit either of extent or of kind to the purposes for which he may employ it. But he can only do this by abiding in "the Father's" house, and by conforming to the rule of the house, which is the Law of Love.
The Law of Universal Love
This is the only restriction, if it can be called a restriction, to avoid using our powers injuriously; and this restriction becomes self-obvious when we consider that the very thing which puts us in possession of this limitless power of drawing from the Infinite is the recognition of our identity with the Universal ONE, and that any employment of our powers to the intentional injury of others is in itself a direct denial of that "unity of the Spirit which is the bond of peace".
The binding power (religio) of Universal Love is thus seen to be inherent in the very nature of the Liberty which we attain by the Knowledge of the Truth; but except this, there is no other restriction. Why? Because, by the very hypothesis of the case, we are employing First cause when we consciously use our creative power with the knowledge that our Thought is the individual action of the same Spirit
