THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
353
Mind was the Creator of it all. So, when you found yourself in difficulties, you were unable to extricate yourself from them. You had, as it were, put off the
Creative Power' at the time when you fell in love with the fair heroine of the play and entered the lists to chastise the villain. Had you known, that is to say, remembered, that your mind possessed the power of life and death over your adversary, his dagger would never have tasted your blood; but as it never occurred to you that neither the fair dream-land fairy, nor the villain, nor anything else had an objective reality outside your Imagination, the Creative Power, which you bad put off, stood aloof, and the scene brought to you all the misery and wretchedness and pain that it could, and finally terminated in 'death,' at which moment of extreme agony you turned round and found the 'put off' Creative Principle within you, smiling placidly at your error. The Holy Ghost,' the Creative Principle,' had never left but was within you all the time : it was merely the fault of your memory that failed to remind you of it, and for this reason you could not connect yourself with it. You had placed yourself, mentally, on the same plane with the dream-images and had thus voluntarily accepted an inferior status for yourself. It was under the influence of such thoughts that you entered the lists to chastise the villain. You fancied him to be a more powerful being than yourself, whereas you ought to have looked upon him as one created by you. The 'Creative Principle' which was looking on the scene obeyed your thought, and manifested the condition of your belief in your dream body. This is why you were overpowered by the villain.
