Order is Law. The beginning of any building is its foundation. Now, what foundation have we upon which to build the temple not made with hands, if it is not the One Supreme Self-Existing Source? The strength and safety of our building depends upon the permanency and unchangeableness of its foundation. We shall now study the Eternal and its method of self-expression. The law of expression is the simple rule of three — a trinity.
The word expression is not used in Science in a limited manner, as one might say, what a beautiful and practical expression, or what a suggestive or strange expression in reference to subjects under consideration. It means all manifestation of visible form, “animate and inanimate,” or all that results from Source and Cause. The universality of expression is shown in the universe of form.
Two things, the reverse of each other, could not occupy the same place at the same time. Light and darkness, heat and cold, health and sickness could not exist in the same place at the same time; no more could love and hate, good and evil, God and devil. The All is Good and the All is here. God is Omnipresent and we are in His presence from everlasting to everlasting. This proves the Unity of God and man, for man’s existence is right where God is. It is, “I in God, and God in me.” Man could not exist as the reverse of God.
The “new and living way” of knowledge is a consciousness of what the real is, and of the true Nature of existing things around us. If we do not rely on the real nature of what is and is Self-Existing, we have no basis for rest; no source for faith — the substance of things hoped for.
There is no light by which darkness can be found; no truth by which sin, sickness and death, so-called, can be proven real. One may suppose there are two ways, the reverse of each other, that represent the Truth of Unity; while this supposition is possible, but one of the ways can be law or principle.
