II

To enable you to more fully grasp the profundity of this idea we shall give you simple and familiar examples which relate to it. Perhaps the simplest of these is to recall something you must have often wondered about. Let us return to the example of the seed which you hold in your hand - and meditate upon it. You have realized that the ultra-microscopic seed enfolded within its surrounding placenta contains within it the image of every branch, leaf and fibre of what will be a fifty ton tree a hundred feet high. You have recalled to yourself that no two leaves - or

[p. 240]

two millimeters of that tree - are alike. You have undoubtedly recalled a hundred wonders of that tree and asked yourself how it is possible for all of that great tree to be enfolded within a microscopic point. What you have never realized in this respect, is that you are endeavoring to translate the unfamiliar zero universe of Mind-Idea, which has no dimension, into the universe of dimension which you are familiar with. That is a very difficult thing for you to do at this present stage of Mind-unfolding in the human race. A close approach to it in human technique with light and photography, might help you to grasp it. We will try a familiar one.

If, for example, you see a twenty foot high picture in the cinema, you know that it is a light-projection from a miniature image. You can see the big picture with ease, but if you look for a face upon the miniature, which you can see with great detail upon the screen, you will not be able to more than locate its position upon the film-image. Let us carry this one step farther. Human ingenuity has devised a technique whereby microfilms can be made. Now if you look at it you will not be able to locate the position of a whole man, much less his face, yet it can be multiplied into distinct visibility from that invisible point, just as the invisible oak can, likewise, be multiplied into distinct visibility. So, also, can ear-splitting deafening sound become silent and locked up as silence in a box, awaiting your Mind-command to again project it into loud sound.

Let us take another step. Light is limitless but human technique and material is not. Let us assume, however, that it is possible to project a picture one hundred feet high from that micro-film. If you carry this thought into deep meditation you will understand how dimension itself folds up to zero in the seed-record of your Self as it almost folds up to zero on the micro-film. If we now return to the one hundred foot high, fifty ton oak you can more readily comprehend that dimensioned, complex patterned-bodies can unfold in great variety of detailed effect from a Mind-concept of non-dimension, but, likewise, they can refold into non-dimension.

By taking another step we can, perhaps, help you to compre-

[p. 241]

hend this idea more clearly. In your imagination look carefully upon the large cinema picture and realize that there is one prime essential to its understanding that is not photographed there. That one essential is the IDEA of the picture. The IDEA is not photographed. It is not there at all. You cannot see it, no matter how carefully you look - yet you KNOW it as well as though you could see it. Idea is never created. Its body is alone created. Idea has no dimension. It is only the projected image of Idea, which has dimension. Idea is never created. It is but simulated.

If you have followed these steps with even partial understanding you will comprehend the description we have given you of the bridge between man and God which the inert gases provide, and the further description we will now add to it.

To help you with this further understanding turn back to Fig. 41 which diagrams one inert gas unit many millions of times magnified. The central portion of that diagram represents the Mind within motion. It is absolutely still at its center, which is the kingdom of heaven within every creating thing, which Jesus tried to tell man about. That is God's universe, but it is also man's when he becomes aware of it. Until man does thus become aware of it he is but a mortal body. Unknown to him, however, for the long ages of his unawareness, something within that invisibility, which centers the rings, is eternally reaching out to him (and to all creating things) , which he at first feels as instinct. That is man's first bridge to God. See Fig. 48 and read the words printed within the zero area.

Long, long ages pass before that bridge, which reaches out to him from its dark, becomes illumined with its own Magnetic Light of Mind-knowing, which then comes to him as inspiration. Even then man may still not know that God is actually talking to him in God's language of Light. That spark of awakened Light in him may burn in him as genius-man for many lives before he finally becomes fully aware of his Oneness with that Light. Then there comes to genius-man that great blinding flash of Magnetic Light, which engulfs him and takes him across that bridge from his world of motion unto its very stillness. Then he really does

[p.242]

hear God's Voice saying: "See me - Be Me - Be thou fulcrum of thine own power." Genius-man has then fully crossed the bridge from motion into that stillness of the One which opens the door to the eternal omnipotent and omniscient Light of Mind. Then, and not until then, can man say: "I and my Father are ONE" - and know its meaning. That is what Christ Consciousness means. It is the final goal of all men. This man cannot yet comprehend, for the human race is still in its spiritual infancy and the journey of life is long. (The five stages in the unfolding of man's long journey from primate man to Christ Consciousness has, perhaps, never been more fully explained than in "GOD WILL WORK WITH YOU BUT NOT FOR YOU.")
