"If God is the Core of me, if it is the harnessing of the God power through my effort that makes me grow in Ray-vibrational content, where then is the division between God and me"

"We will come back to that question later. First we must study another aspect of the growing Entity. the common word for the Love rays of God which are the substance of God is Spirit. God is Spirit. We are made of God-substance, we are made of Spirit. it is an easier word than Ray-vibrational content!

We are an aggregate of the Love-rays of Spirit open to us up to date. As far as we little things can understand it at the moment God is creating of his own Self - His own Substance, His own Rays, His own Spirit, His own Love - many individual spirits, separate from Himself yet made of Himself."

"Is life then to be found in mineral substances?"

"The vapor of the breath of God, who is Life, must be in all chemicals on this earth, which have as their origin the same Ray-vibrations of the God-mind. As all things obey the same God-laws, then the chemical changes and compundities must have been arrived at, as they still are, by the blending of harmonious elements. Just as oxygen and hydrogen coming together in right proportion create water.

The spark of life, as we know it, is as a fire compared with its minuteness when separate in the chemical elements of the earth plane before tangible life appeared. the spark of life had to wait until the chemical elements had so come together and woven out of the God-rays and inward and then an outward form of enough complexity for life to function in it in a appreciable form.

So appeared the first unicellular life, animated by the spark of God-life.

As the spark of life starts its immense journey through aeons of time, it is an individual thought, an individual Ray, an individual vibration, an individual breath of Spirit. To this individuality, by the Law of Love, it holds fast. All its functionings, all its tuning-in with the Rays, all its Efforts, by reason of its make-up are individual. It becomes more and more individual, more and more different. Like the snowball, again, it rolls through life, making of itself more and more and more, holding on to that which it has picked up on its way. That which it has picked up on its way become incorporate within the whole - which is itself.

As the God Ray-vibrations - which are Spirit - are indestructible so is the individual Entity which is an aggregate of those God-rays, indestructible. It holds within itself all that it ever has been. That which is permanent is the aggregate of Love-ray-vibration, in other words - Spirit substance.

But vibrations are invisible to this world of matter. For all that matter know they do not exist. Why? Because God, which is Love, which is Giving, in order to create out of His own substance individuals who are built up of His very Self-ingredients, who are therefore potentially miniature Gods as He is God ... in order to do this those individuals must (being of Him and like Him) by their own Effort and choice create themselves.

Potentially Gods, they must be creative. Made of God they cannot help being creative. Made of Spirit, they must think, made of God-power, they must be strong. Made individually, by choice must they build themselves into separate individuals.

How to achieve this, you ask?
By Experience.
By Trial and Error.
By learning Cause and Effect.
By continued and continual Experience.
Experience is using life to teach life. So by experience the individual Entity learns, builds itself up. 

Well, as we have seen that the individual, being made of God-substance, is indestructible, and as we have seen that through continued experience the individual grows, therefore we can see why it is that the entity has taken on this immense journey through a million forms of matte."

"Do you mean that each Entity enters many different material forms or bodies in turn?"

"Yes. This earth plane must serve its purpose in the grand scheme of things. It is a plane of Experience, a school, if you like. and guided by the outside Wisdom of the Spirit so does the individual Entity take on first one form and then another, and then another, growing in value as it learns, as it strives, as it turns this way and that in its struggle to live, to find out for itself first how best to remain alive, then later: how best to live. It lives a million lives perhaps. The journey is a long one. The individual has much to learn. The unicellular protoplasm has much to learn before it has created of itself a being that can drive a car or compose a symphony!"

"Then it is the same individual that lives and dies again and again, inhabitating many different bodies?"

"Yes, It is born, it lives, perhaps it opens itself to a fraction more God-ray or God-power in that life. Then it dies, as we say; or rather it is withdrawn from matter for awhile. Then it is directed again into a new form, a new body. It goes through the same process - all through experience, through Effort ... And so on, again and again. And so up the scale of life."
