The Unity of Life

Life is one; it is an electrical, absolutely non-material stream of influence from the great source of life. It has not been, it cannot be discovered by the microscope or the dissecting knife; it is not material and cannot be revealed to material eyes but it informs matter and is manifested in and through it. If we think of the universe as a chain, it should be as of separate links strung together on an invisible string and that string the breath of the Divine; without this breath the universe would immediately dissolve and vanish from our eyes. In the beginning the earth was without form and void. In the beginning—that is when the Living One saw fit to bring into outward manifestation some of the thoughts of His heart and into the chasm, the void space, He breathed the breath of His own being. Then the fluid, gaseous, invisible matter cohered by the power of this breath and a solid earth arose where before was no such thing.
