Sam, What do you think of the following? has already created for us and this He wills to have us do that we may be free from every limitation and thus be 'abundantly free.' When Jesus said, 'I am the door', He meant that the I AM in each soul is the door through which the life, power, and substance of the great I AM, which is God, comes forth into expression through the individual. This I AM has but one mode of expression and that is through idea, thought, word, and act. This I AM God Being, which is power, substance, intelligence, is given form by consciousness; and for this reason the Master said, 'According to your faith be it unto you', and 'all things are possible to them that believe.' Now we see that God is within the soul as power, substance, and intelligence - or in spiritual terms, wisdom, love and truth - and is brought out into form or expression through consciousness. The consciousness which is in the infinite mind of God and in man is determined by the concept or belief that is held in mind. It is the belief in separtion from Spirit that has caused our forms to age and die. When we see that Spirit is all and that form is constantly being expressed from Spirit, then shall we understand that that which is born of or bought out of Spirit is Spirit. The next great truth to be revealed through this consciousness is that each individual, being a concept of the divine Mind, is held in that mind as a perfect idea. Not one of us has to conceive himself. We have been perfectly conceived and are always held in the perfect mind of God as perfect beings. By having this realization brought to our consciousness, we can contact the divine Mind and so re-conceive what God has already conceived for us. This is what Jesus called being 'born again'. It is the great gift the silence has to offer us; for by contacting the God-mind we can think with God-mind and know ourselves as we are in reality rather than as we have thought ourselves to be."
