MOre from Lesson 1 of Home Lessons. Why are your churches again, dear Christians NOT teaching this? begging prayer is not your answer.

*************

How glorious and wonderful is the realization that Mind of man and Mind of God can know their oneness in meditation in order that the creations of man can have the balanced rhythms, the symmetry and the stability of God's creations.
All that God does is to think thought forms of ideas and give them formed bodies from His body and Soul of His Soul.

God thinks man and the body of man appears in the image of God's imagining. In the same manner the bodies of roses and oaks of the forest, ants and lizards, elephants and camels, planets, suns and oceans with their living hosts of swimming things, and countless other formed bodies appear as separate ideas all extended from the One, and all from each other.

And that is all that man does. He also thinks thought forms of ideas and gives them formed bodies from the universal body and Soul from the universal Soul. The engineer conceives the image of a bridge and the formed body of the bridge appears in the image of the engineer's imagining.

Likewise the musician thinks music in the silence of his imagining, and lo, the formed body of the music appears in sound extending from the silence. And so are you and all men thinking imaged forms of multiple things and giving them formed bodies in the image of their imaginings.
