TABLE OF CONTENTS

FOREWORD

Public opinion will not long endure a theory which does not work in

practice. Today, probably more than ever before, man demands proof

of the truth of even his highest ideal. For ultimate satisfaction man

just find a principle which is for him a way of life, a principle which

he can experience as true.

I believe I have discovered just such a principle in the greatest of all

sacred writings, the Bible. Drawn from my own mystical illumination

this book reveals the truth buried within the stories of the old and new

testaments alike.

Briefly, the book states that consciousness is the one and only

reality, that consciousness is the cause and manifestation is the effect.

It draws the reader’s attention to this fact constantly, that the reader

may always keep first things first.

Having laid the foundation that a change of consciousness is

essential to bring about any change of expression, this book explains

to the reader a dozen different ways to bring about such a change of

consciousness.

This is a realistic and constructive principle that works. The

revelation it contains, if applied, will set you free.

Chapter 1

THE ONENESS OF GOD

“HEAR, O Israel: the Lord our god is one Lord.”

Hear, O Israel:

Hear, O man made of the very substance of God:

You and God are one and undivided!

Man, the world and all within it are conditioned states

of the unconditioned one, God.

You are this one;

you are God conditioned as man.

All that you believe God to be, you are;

but you will never know this to be true

until you stop claiming it of another,

and recognize this seeming other to be yourself.

God and man,

spirit and matter,

the formless and the formed,

the creator and the creation,

the cause and the effect,

your Lather and you are one.

This one, in whom all conditioned states live and move

and have their being,

is your I AM,

your unconditioned consciousness.

Unconditioned consciousness is God, the one and only reality. By

unconditioned consciousness is meant a sense of awareness; a sense of knowing

that I AM apart from knowing who I AM; the consciousness of being, divorced

from that which I am conscious of being. I AM aware of being man, but I need

not be man to be aware of being. Before I became aware of being someone, I,

unconditioned awareness, was aware of being, and this awareness does not

depend upon being someone. I AM self-existent, unconditioned consciousness;

I became aware of being someone; and I shall become aware of being someone

other than this that I am now aware of being; but I AM eternally aware of being

whether I am unconditioned formlessness or I am conditioned form.

As the conditioned state, I (man), might forget who I am, or where I am, but I

cannot forget that I AM. This knowing that I AM, this awareness of being, is the

only reality.

This unconditioned consciousness, the I AM, is that knowing reality in whom

all conditioned states - conceptions of myself - begin and end, but which ever

remains the unknown knowing being when all the known ceases to be.

All that I have ever believed myself to be, all that I now believe myself to be,

and all that I shall ever believe myself to be, are but attempts to know myself,—

the unknown, undefined reality.

This unknown knowing one, or unconditioned consciousness, is my true being,

the one and only reality. I AM the unconditioned reality conditioned as that

which I believe myself to be. I AM the believer limited by my beliefs, the

knower defined by the known.

The world is my conditioned consciousness objectified. That which I feel and

believe to be true of myself is now projected in space as my world. The world -

my mirrored self - ever bears witness of the state of consciousness in which I

live.

There is no chance or accident responsible for the things that happen to me or

the environment in which I find myself. Nor is predestined fate the author of my

fortunes or misfortunes. Innocence and guilt are mere words with no meaning to

the law of consciousness, except as they reflect the state of consciousness itself.

The consciousness of guilt calls forth condemnation. The consciousness of lack

produces poverty. Man everlastingly objectifies the state of consciousness in

which he abides but he has somehow or other become confused in the

interpretation of the law of cause and effect. He has forgotten that it is the inner

state which is the cause of the outer manifestation,— “As within, so without,”

and in his forgetfulness he believes that an outside God has his own peculiar

reason for doing things, such reasons being beyond the comprehension of mere

man; or he believes that people are suffering because of past mistakes which

have been forgotten by the conscious mind; or, again, that blind chance alone

plays the part of God.

One day man will realize that his own I Am-ness is the God he has been seeking

throughout the ages, and that his own sense of awareness - his consciousness of

being - is the one and only reality.

The most difficult thing for man to really grasp is this; That the “I amness” in

himself is God. It is his true being or father state, the only state he can be sure

of. The son, his conception of himself, is an illusion. He always knows that he

is, but that which he is, is an illusion created by himself (the father) in an

attempt at self-definition.

This discovery reveals that all that I have believed God to be I AM. “I AM the

resurrection and the life,” is a statement of fact concerning my consciousness,

for my consciousness resurrects or makes visibly alive that which I am

conscious of being.

“I AM the door all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers,” shows

me that my consciousness is the one and only entrance into the world of

expression; that by assuming the consciousness of being or possessing the thing

which I desire to be or possess is the only way by which I can become it or

possess it; that any attempt to express this desirable state in ways other than by

assuming the consciousness of being or possessing it, is to be robbed of the joy

of expression and possession. “I AM the beginning and the end,” reveals my

consciousness as the cause of the birth and death of all expression. “I AM hath

sent me,” reveals my consciousness to be the Lord which sends me into the

world in the image and likeness of that which I am conscious of being to live in

a world composed of all that I am conscious of.
