ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING / Sanctuary / 1:30pm

If there is but one Mind to give birth to ideas, then God goes forth anew into creation through every man's life. The idea of shoes did not exist forever in the Mind of God, but the potential possibility was always there. The individual mind, feeling a need for shoes, conceives an idea, gives birth to a pattern, and the pattern gives birth to the object. The Law through which this takes place already exists. The substance which passes into form already exists. The Divine Mind which conceives all ideas already exists. This Mind is the mind of man. He is an individual in It and uses It. It is the Mind through which he thinks. The original Law is always acting upon his thought, or his thought is acting through the Law -- no one knows which. No matter which way we state the proposition, it amounts to the same thing. Ernest Holmes
