WE STILL SEARCH FOR SIMPLICITY

We live in a bewildering world which confuses us only because we do not know it. A primate would be similarly confused about a watch. To him its wheels would have no meaning because both the mechanics and purpose of the watch would be incomprehensible to him.

Yet the watch is very simple to you. Its mechanics and purpose are perfectly familiar to you. You regard it as a very simple thing to understand.

You are confused about Creation because you do not know it. Likewise, you are confused about The Creator because you do not know Him. Also you are confused about the mechanics and purposefulness of matter and motion because you do not know them. You may think you need not be interested in knowing about matter and motion because it seems difficult, but you MUST know their cause, and that is very simple. Without this knowledge you are like a ship without a navigator.

You MUST know Creation, for your body which you are building, is one unit of it. You must know how to control it. You also must know it for what it is instead of what you think it is. When you become familiar with it as being but certain states of motion you must know that those states of motion are wave-records of your desires just as a picture is the record of the painter's desire.

A manufacturer produces a better product in the measure of his knowledge of his product. Your body is as much your product as the products of your factory. Millions of years of your desire produced it. In one minute the desire of your will can alter its entire structural balance in either direction--toward life or death--without the slightest physical action upon your part.

The medical profession can make enormous strides in its great service to man by starting upon a basis of greater knowledge of CAUSE of the countless effects it encounters. In its search for CAUSE of effects in matter its beginnings should be in a greater knowledge of motion which matter is, and the relation of Mind to motion which polarizes or depolarizes body structure, or unbalances its polarity to form destructive tissues and destructive electro-chemical reactions.
