This Resolution is of the greatest importance. Once admit that there is _any_ Power outside yourself, however beneficent you may conceive it to be, and you have sown the seed which must sooner or later bear the fruit of "_Fear_" which is the entire ruin of Life, Love and Liberty. There is no _via media_. Say we are only reflections, however accurate, of The Life, and in the admission we have given away our Birthright. However small or plausible may be the germ of thought which admits that we are anything less in principle than The Life Itself, it must spring up to the ultimate ruin of the Life-Principle itself. We _are_ It itself. The difference is only that between the generic and the specific of the _same_ thing. We must contend earnestly, both within ourselves and outwardly, for the _one great foundation_ and never, now on to all eternity, admit for a single instant any thought which is opposed to this, the Basic Truth of Being. The leading ideas connected with Higher Thought are (I) That Man controls circumstances, instead of being controlled by them, and (II) as a consequence of the foregoing, that whatever teaches us to _rely_ on power _borrowed_ from a source _outside_ ourselves is _not_ Higher Thought; and that whatever explains to us the _Infinite_ source of _our own inherent_ power and the consequent _limitless_ nature of that power _is_ Higher Thought. This avoids the use of terms which may only puzzle those not accustomed to abstract phraseology, and is substantially the same as the resolution of October, 1902. XXV FRAGMENTS 1. God is Love. Man, having the understanding of God, speaks the Word of Power. 2. Man gives utterance to God. 3. The Father is Equilibrium. The Son is Concentration of the _same_ Spirit. The Spirit is Projection. _The Tri-une Relation_--always consists of these Three: (I) The Potential--(II) The Ideal--(III) The Concrete. (I) The Potential is Life in its most highly abstract mode not yet brought into Form even as Thought. Not particularised in _any_ way. (II) The Ideal is the particularising of the Potential into a certain Formulated Thought. (III) The Concrete is the Manifestation of the Formulated Thought in Visible Form. What everybody wants is to become _more alive_--as Jesus said, "I am come that they might have Life and might have it more abundantly"--and it is only on the basis of realising ourselves as a _perfect unity throughout_, not made up of opposing parts, and that unity _Spirit_, that we can realise in ourselves the _Livingness_ which _Spirit is_, and which we _as Spirit_ ought to be. HENCE PERFECT DEMONSTRATION. "The Truth shall make you Free" Life : Love : = The Truth Liberty : The Ultimate Truth will always be found to consist of these three, and anything that is contrary to them is contrary to Fundamental Truth.
