Inside, Outside and the Unanalyzable

 "Stop Judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly." John 7:24

   There is enough indication from the outside of some things that give a fair sense of their inside. But this can never be the whole story. This outside-only approach is what the mentally lazy, who cannot think for themselves, use to argue that all that can be known about the thing has already been made known. They also add insult to injury when they state that any further investigation of the thing will somehow destroy Truth.

   Their fallacious argument—based solely on sophistry and close-mindedness—reveals their utter ignorance of the very nature of Truth. Truth can never be destroyed! In addition, they reveal their ignorance of the Law of Growth, which everywhere—whether in macrocosmic space of microcosmic place—always pushes forward into unlimited forms of expression that are always expanding and never reaching an ending anywhere.

   What people of the above mental ilk fear is the All-Originating Spirit of God which is “over all, and through all, and in all.”

   You must understand that the central Principle at the root of all things is Life—not just life as you recognize it in a particular manifested form, but Life as the “unity of the Spirit” which has not yet passed into diversity.

   This idea of the “unity of the Spirit” is not just a biblical one, but also the root of the scientific conception of Spirit. Without such a conception there is no common principle that can unite the numberless forms of manifestation that Spirit assumes.

   This conception of Life affirms that it is the sum-total of all its distributive powers, being none of them in particular, but being all of them in potentiality.

   I readily admit that this is a difficult concept to grasp intellectually, but it is the center from which growth takes place by expansion in every direction. This is the place where you come face-to-face with the unanalyzable.

   The unanalyzable—what you cannot dissect and break down into constituent parts—is not the unknowable. You can know the unanalyzable by perception, rather than knowledge. The internal essence or “Holy of Holies” of all things is Absolute Spirit—Spirit that has not been differentiated into any specific mode. It is Universal Life which permeates all things and is at the core of all appearances.

   The knowledge of Absolute Spirit is your entrance into the secret place of Living Spirit and access to the secret of power. Living Spirit—what you call God and I call the All-Originating Spirit of God—is Pure Essence, Pure Energy, and Pure Being that knows Itself, but cannot dissect Itself because It is not composed of parts. It is Unity. It is One.

   In the same way that science works with the Law of Conservation of Energy—that energy cannot be created, destroyed, added to, or subtracted from—you must work relentlessly to push the unanalyzable a step further back, but always realize that the ultimate unanalyzable will always be beyond your grasp. Thus, to expand into your fullest capacity, you must decide to work with what you cannot analyze—i.e., your conception of Absolute Life—and not deny its existence and “aliveness.”

   By so doing, you are acknowledging that the undifferentiated Unity of Living Spirit (the All-Originating Spirit of God) is the central Truth, the reality in Itself, and not as It may be perceived. Accordingly, It is the Central Truth of every system, whether the system is the entire universe or a singular organism.

   Thus, the “Science of Spirit” is as scientific as the Science of Matter. They begin with the same premise: a Living Energy that defies definition or explanation. Its difference lies in Its adherents’ contemplating this Living Energy as Responsive Intelligence—Intelligence that responds to human reciprocals who were created in Its very image and likeness.
