d is that of the Alternation
and Equation between Absorption and Radiation--a taking-in
before, and a giving-out.

(c) "_Order_"--Whatever betrays this is "Disorder."

(d) "_Conscious_"--It is the degree of _consciousness_ that
always marks the transition from a lower to a higher Power of
Life. The _Life_ of _All Seven_ Principles _must_ always be
present in us, otherwise we should not exist at all;
therefore it is the degree in which we learn to _consciously_
function in each of them that marks our advance into higher
kingdoms within ourselves, and frequently outside ourselves
also.

(e) The Central Radiating Point of our Individuality is _One_
with All-Being.

(f) _Equilibrium_--Note the difference between the Living
Equilibrium of Alternate Rhythmic _Pulsation_ (the whole
Pulsation Doctrine) and the dead equilibrium of merely
_running down_ to a _dead level_. The former implies the
Doctrine of the Return, the Upward Arc compensating the
Downward Arc--The deadness of the latter results from the
absence of any such compensation. The Upward Arc results from
the contemplation of the Highest Ideal.

(g) Spirit cannot leave any portion of its Nature behind it.
It _must_ always have _all_ the qualities of Spirit in it,
even though the lower parts of the individuality are not yet
conscious of it.

(h) The Great Affirmation is The Guide to the whole Subject.]

The theatre of its operations may be expanded to the magnificent
proportions of a world-history, or contracted to the sphere of a single
individuality: the difference is only one of scale; but the
Life-principle is always the same. It is always the principle of
confident Affirmation in the calm knowledge that all things are but
manifestations of itself, and that, therefore, all must move together in
one mighty unity which admits of no discordant elements. This "unity of
the spirit" once clearly grasped, to say I am is to send the vibrations
of our thought-currents throughout the universe to do our bidding when
and where we will; and, conversely, it is _to_ draw in the vitalising
influences of Infinite Spirit as from a boundless ocean of Life, which
can never be exhausted and from which no power can hold us back. And all
this is so because it is the supreme law of Nature. It is not the
introduction of a new order, but simply the allowing of the original and
