Creative Mind and Success

PART I.
AN INQUIRY INTO THE TRUTH.
An inquiry into Truth is an inquiry into the cause of things as the human race
sees and experiences them. The starting point of our thought must always
begin with our experiences. We all know that life is, else we could not even
think that we are. Since we can think, say and feel, we must be. We live, we
are conscious of life; therefore we must be and life must be. If we are life
and consciousness (self-knowing) then it follows that we must have come
from life and consciousness. Let us start, then, with this simple fact: Life is
and life is conscious.
But what is the nature of this life; is it physical, mental, material or spiritual?
A little careful thinking based upon logic, more than any merely personal
opinion, will do much in clearing up some of these questions that at first
seem to stagger us with their bigness.
How much of that which is may we call life? The answer would have to be:
Life is all that there is; it is the reason for all that we see, hear, feel--all that
we experience in any way. Now nothing from nothing leaves nothing, and it
is impossible for something to proceed from nothing. Since something is,
that from which it came must be all that is. Life, then, is all that there is.
Everything comes from it, ourselves included.
The next question is, how do things come from life? How do the things that
we see come from the things that we do not see? The things that we see
must be real because we see them. To say they are not real will never
explain them nor answer any question about them. God's world is not a
world of illusion but one of divine realities. The truth must not explain away
things that we see. It must explain what they are. We are living and
experiencing varying degrees of consciousness and conditions. Only when
the why of this living and of our experiences is.
