realities. Thus to connect and harmonize these
diverse and infinite realities an all-unifying Power
is necessary, that every part of existent being may
in perfect order discharge its own function. Consider
the body of man, and let the part be an indication
of the whole. Consider how these diverse parts
and members of the human body are closely connected
and harmoniously united one with the
other. Every part is the essential requisite of all
other parts and has a function by itself. It is the
mind that is the all-unifying agency that so uniteth
all the component parts one with the other that
each dischargeth its specific function in perfect
order, and thereby co-operation and reaction are
made possible. All parts function under certain
laws that are essential to existence. Should that all-unifying
agency that directeth all these parts be
harmed in any way there is no doubt that the constituent
parts and members will cease functioning
properly; and though that all-unifying agency in
the temple of man be not sensed or seen and the
reality thereof be unknown, yet by its effects it
manifesteth itself with the greatest power.
Thus it hath been proven and made evident that
these infinite beings in this wondrous universe will
discharge their functions properly only when
directed and controlled by that Universal Reality,
