Nature Waits For Our Comprehension Of Her

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

“That we are living in a spiritual universe which includes the material or physical universe has been a conclusion of the deepest thinkers of every age. That this spiritual universe must be one of pure intelligence and perfect life, dominated by love, by reason and by the power to create, seems an inevitable conclusion.

We all wish to feel that the power behind everything is good as well as creative, an eternal and changeless Intelligence in which we live, move and have our being. Intuitively we sense that each of us, in our native state, is some part or manifestation of this eternal Principle, and that the entire problem of limitation, evil, suffering and uncertainty is not God-ordained, but is the result of ignorance. It has been written that the Truth shall make us free, provided we know the Truth, and we note that the evolution of humanity’s consciousness brings with it the acquisition of new powers and higher possibilities.

Nature seems to await our comprehension of her, and, since she is governed by immutable laws, the ignorance of which excuses no person from their effects, the bandages of humanity must be a result of our ignorance of the true nature of Reality. But some people will say: ‘If the power behind everything is good, why does it admit of even the possibility of evil and limitation?’”

Insight:
“The only answer to this question is that we are each individuals left alone to discover ourselves, creatures of volition, intelligence and will, fused into personality for the purpose of producing a real entity an actual, conscious being”
