THE VISIBLE IS ONLY ITS SHADOW.

with the outside fringe of true knowledge of the Reality. I can 

 only tell him that I have never yet met any true investigator who 

 has not freely acknowledged that he who knows most, knows most 

 how little he knows. Col. Mackinlay sajs I ought to have started 

 by defining what I mean by ' The Spiritual!' but I did this in the 

 very first line of my paper ; I defined it there as the Beal. It is 

 the only Reality, it is what most people understand as God ; every- 

 thing else is only our finite aspect of that Spiritual activity. If he 

 wishes for a fuller definition I will try to give what I have learnt 

 to look upon as its significance and our connection therewith : — 



"It is the Infinite, Eternal, Reality of Being of the All-loving. 

 That Reality of Being is Absolute Love, of which the highest form 

 of what we call love is the feeblest echo. It comprises Infinite 

 Wisdom, Power and Purpose, and as we realise our oneness with 

 that Divine Love, we find the Kingdom of Heaven within, become 

 God conscious, and enter into the Bliss of God ; we at last become, 

 as it were, a drop in the ocean of Infinite Love, and are endowed 

 with Wisdom and Power to help to carry out His purpose on the 

 physical plane as that Will is being done in Heaven."
