The leading ideas connected with Higher Thought are (I) That Man controls circ.u.mstances, 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.

FRAGMENTS

1. G.o.d is Love.

Man, having the understanding of G.o.d, speaks the Word of Power.

2. Man gives utterance to G.o.d.

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.

WORSHIP

Worship consists in the recognition of the _Personal_ Nature of Holy Spirit, and in the Continual Alternation (Pulsation) between the two positions of "I am the Person that Thou art," and "Thou art the Person that I am." The Two Personalities are One.
