rce of _our
own inherent_ power and the consequent _limitless_ nature of that power
_is_ Higher Thought. This avoids the use of terms which may only puzzle
those not accustomed to abstract phraseology, and is substantially the
same as the resolution of October, 1902.

FRAGMENTS
1. God is Love.
Man, having the understanding of God, speaks the Word of Power.
2. Man gives utterance to God.
3. The Father is Equilibrium.
The Son is Concentration of the _same_ Spirit.
The Spirit is Projection.
_The Tri-une Relation_--always consists of these Three:
(I) The Potential--(II) The Ideal--(III) The Concrete.
(I) The Potential is Life in its most highly abstract mode not yet
brought into Form even as Thought. Not particularised in _any_ way.
(II) The Ideal is the particularising of the Potential into a certain
Formulated Thought.
(III) The Concrete is the Manifestation of the Formulated Thought in
Visible Form.
What everybody wants is to become _more alive_--as Jesus said, "I am
come that they might have Life and might have it more abundantly"--and
it is only on the basis of realising ourselves as a _perfect unity
throughout_, not made up of opposing parts, and that unity _Spirit_,
that we can realise in ourselves the _Livingness_ which _Spirit is_, and
which we _as Spirit_ ought to be.
HENCE PERFECT DEMONSTRATION.
"The Truth shall make you Free"
Life :
Love : = The Truth
Liberty :
The Ultimate Truth will always be found to consist of these three, and
anything that is contrary to them is contrary to Fundamental Truth.
WORSHIP
Worship consists in the recognition of the _Personal_ Nature of Holy
Spirit, and in the Continual Alternation (Pulsation) between the two
positions of "I am the Person that Thou art," and "Thou art the Person
that I am." The Two Personalities are One.
