26. This breath of life is a superconscious reality. It is the essence of the I am. It is pure Being or Universal Substance, and our conscious unity with it enables us to localize it, and thus exercise the powers of this creative energy.
27. Thought is creative vibration and the quality of the conditions created will depend upon the quality of our thought, because we cannot express powers which we do not possess. We must be before we can do and we can do only to the extent to which we are, and so what we do will necessarily coincide with what we are and what we are depends upon what we think. Every time you think you start a train of causation which will create a condition in strict accordance with the quality of the thought which originated it. Thought which is in harmony with the Universal Mind will result in corresponding conditions. Thought which is constructive and harmonious will produce corresponding results. You may use thought constructively, but the immutable law will allow you to only plant a thought of one kind and reap the fruit of the same kind. You are free to use this marvelous creative power as you will, but you must take the consequences.
28. This is the benefit from what is called allowing. There are those who know that by allowing they can obey this law; that they can sow seed of one kind and by Allowing make it bear fruit of the same kind only, the fundamental principle of creative power is in the Universal, and therefore the idea of allowing a compliance with the Universal wishes by the power of the Universal is a correct conception which will succeed - because it embraces the very power which it is seeking to use.
29. It is the individual attempting to allow the Universal, the finite in harmony with the Infinite. Our permanent well being will be best conserved by a conscious cooperation with the continuous forward movement of the Great Whole.
