PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTH8 Oh

it

is

a

privilege

to

realize,

these are psychological Truths! Not only these which I am putting forth into expression from a Religious and

from a Spiritual point

of view, but they are psychological Truths as put forth into expression from every angle expressible. All of the whole Creation is a PSYCHOLOGICAL Creation brought into outer expres-

sion and into materialization,

a

is

taut it

PSYCHOLOGICAL

Creation. From the Foundation of the world, the whole Creation of GOD'S Infiniteness was Created from a psy^ chological

point of view. But because you have gone so far from the psychic plane and from the Spiritual realm wherein I Stand, it is a mat-

ter of impossibility for you to see the mystery psychologically in reality.

As

you observe only and think for an instance, it must be brought into outer expressioii merely through a visible outward expression of something through' some of your physical materialists,

the material

things,

efforts, or methods, or remedies, or some outer expression. But I am here to tell you, out of the whole Creation there is not an expression in the Creation of the Infinite One, that was not mental, psychic, or

Spiritual, or

something of that kind,

RECOGNITION OF

OMNIPOTENCE I am just bringing

you back

the recognition of the Omnipotence and the Infiniteness of your Maker.
