wanderers from the parent Mind, strangers in a tangled wilderness.
Genesis i. 11 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth:” and it was so.
Spirit causes its own idea to reflect the creative power of its Principle, or Life, that reproduces the multitudinous forms of Mind, and governs the multiplication of ideas. The tree or herb does not yield fruit because of any propagating principle of its own, but because it reflects the Creator who is all.
Infinite Mind governs all ideas, from the molecule to infinity. The Divine Principle of all expresses Science and art throughout His creation; and the only immortality of His work is in the divine artist. Creation is ever appearing, and must ever continue to appear, from the nature of its inexhaustible Source.
The seed is in itself, only as Mind is all and reproduces all. Mind is the multiplier, and Mind's ideas — the universe and man — are the product. The only Intelligence of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the Creator of them. Mind is the Soul of all, and Truth and Love constitute the Intelligence which governs all.
Genesis i. 12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
