From – God, The Substance of All Form

God Is The Only Being

 

When you are dealing with your own life, when you are dealing with your family relationships, or when you are dealing with your business relationships – even your national and international relationships – you should practice this exercise of traveling up and down your body to see if you can find yourself there, and when you cannot and you ask, “Where am I?” or “Who am I?” or “What am I?”  then, realize that the I is God.  Once you have caught that vision, you have solved the whole problem, because you readily see that there cannot be room for God, infinite Being, and anyone or anything else besides.

Every relationship in life is based on the belief that there are two or more of us – two or more of us in the home, two or more of us in the business. All spiritual truth, on the other hand, is based on the fact that there is only one I, one Consciousness, one Soul, one Spirit, and I am that I am.  All that the Father has is mine – all that is true is true of the son.

Where our trouble comes is that, after we have made that declaration and have realized that truth, we try in some way to hook it up with mortals, with the mortal picture. That is where we lose our demonstration, because it cannot be done.  Mortals constitute the illusion; they constitute that which has no existence.  How then is it possible to link a spiritual truth with that which has no existence?  It cannot be done.  Do not try it.  You cannot heal a human being, and I cannot heal a human being.  If it could be done, God would have done it long before we attempted it.  The sum and substance of the healing work is in the realization that there are no human beings, that God is the only infinite Being.
