Now all this is necessarily an interior process taking place on
the mental plane; but if we realize that the creative process is
always primarily one of involution, or formation in the spiritual
world, we shall grasp something of the meaning of Christ as "The
Son of God"--the concentration of the Universal Spirit into a
Personality on the spiritual plane correlatively to the
individuality of each one who affords the necessary
thought-conditions. To all who apprehend it there is then
discovered in the Universal Spirit the presence of a Divine
Individuality reciprocal to that of the individual man, the
recognition of which is the practical solution of all
metaphysical problems regarding the emanation of the individual
soul from the Universal Spirit and the relations arising
therefrom; for it takes these matters out of the region of
intellectual speculation, which is never creative but only
analytical, and transfers it to the region of feeling and
spiritual sensation which is the abode of the creative forces.
This personal recognition of the Divine then affords us a new
basis of Affirmation, and we need no longer trouble to go further
back in order to analyze it, because we know experimentally that
it is there; so now we find the starting-point of the new
creation ready-made for us according to the architypal pattern in
the Divine Mind itself and therefore perfectly correctly formed.
When once this truth is clearly apprehended, whether we reach it
by an intellectual process or by simple intuition, we can make it
our starting-point and claim to have our thought permeated by the
creative power of the Spirit on this basis.
