The more we make our life like the original the more shall we realise what we long to realise--truer, deeper, more eternal unity. But we are not simply _trying_ to be, we _are_ one. All we have to do, I believe, is to act as though we were one. We have {72} proofs of this unity. We find ourselves doing an action which we should never have done unless we had known some one. That one lives over his life, or part of his life, again in us. So too we are living over our lives in other people, perhaps in some who have passed into other worlds of fuller activity than this. In living our lives over in each other, we show that we are more than we thought; and it is grand to think how big our lives may become in this way, for those whom we _influence_--into whom our life _flows in_--in turn may influence others. When I get quite quiet, and my mind is sane, and my conscience at rest, when I almost stop thinking, and listen, I am quite sure that a Personal Being comes to me, and, as He comes, brings some of His own life to flow into my life. I am also sure that with Him come those who live in Him, that all whom I have known or know, and longed or long to know better, who were _worth_ knowing, are near me, are, if I let them, living their lives in my life, making me what I should not be without them. (These are facts, of which I think I may say I have more certainty in the best moments of my life than I have now that Switzerland exists. But I may be exaggerating. Perhaps as regards the second fact--of the other persons with Him--I may have spoken too strongly as regards my certainty. It is so hard to say _exactly_ what one means.)
