Everything comes from within--first within, then out, this is the
law--therefore the change must always take place within.

Going more deeply into the subject and becoming more metaphysical,
it is necessary to point out that the cause of all manifestation is
Mind. We have already seen that a man's mind and character are
reflected in his circumstances; now let us think, for a moment, about
the Mind that is Infinite. The whole universe, which is, of course,
infinite in extent, has its origin in the Divine Mind, and _is
contained within this Infinite Mind_, just in the same way that you
can hold a mental picture in your own mind. God's Universe, _as it
is imaged in the Divine Mind_, is perfect. We see it as imperfect,
because we only receive a finite sense-perception of that which is
perfect and infinite, from this forming, in our minds, an image that
is necessarily imperfect and finite, which we project outwards, and,
not knowing any better, think is real. But the universe, _as imaged
in the Divine Mind_, and as it actually is in reality, is both
infinite and perfect: it is also infinitely perfect. There is no
poverty or lack in a universe that is infinitely perfect, whole and
complete in the Divine Mind. Poverty and lack have their origin in
the mind of man: they have no place in the Mind of God.

We cannot, in a little elementary work of this kind, go more deeply
into this extremely fascinating subject. Sufficient if we say here
that the only Reality is infinite perfection and wholeness, therefore
there cannot be any lack at all (in reality). The obvious lack and
poverty that we see around us are the product of the human mind. Those
