Lessons in the Science of Infinite Spirit

Malinda Elliott Cramer

PREFACE

As the lighthouse throws its beams to guide the mariner through trackless waters, so upon the world’s waste, this book is sent out to warn the wayfarer from time and place, and to guide him into the secure peace and rest of Infinite Love. As the light shining from the lighthouse warns from danger – by making clear the way of safety – and therefore directs into safe harbor, so the truth set forth in this book of lessons will be seen to be that light manifest “that lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” to make clear the way to the Christ consciousness, thus guiding into safe harbor of Oneness with God, the Father.

We purpose in this book, through the science of Infinite Spirit – Mind – Principle – to make clear that understanding which unites all, and which alone reveals the true relation of humanity to God, and the purpose of God in humanity, which is the straight and narrow way that leads unto safety.

Contained in these pages, as in the universe, or realm of nature, is the spoken word of the science of God, and of His creations; of the science of Infinite Spirit, and the orderly and harmonious method of divine procedure, which clearly points the way by which humanity may be guided to that perfect light of understanding and wisdom which alone accompanies the consciousness of truth. Therefore the record of truth which this book contains is the sure beacon which points the way of divine understanding of the right conduct of life, as experienced, proven and demonstrated by the author and many of her students.

Divine Science, the truth of Infinite Spirit and of its creations, is a knowledge of God, and of the method of generation and re-generation.

As in the science of numbers an understanding of principle secures a correct solution and example, so in this Infinite science, or truth, an understanding of Infinite Spirit secures truthful conclusion and right word and action, thus proving to a certainty that we are doing the Father’s will. Perfect knowledge of eternal life is realization of eternal harmony; and this is health, or spiritual wholeness, and is for all who will partake of truth.

These lessons are intended to be studied and applied; which means health, happiness and illumination, with the consciousness of Spirit.

DIVINE BEING, IN WHICH WE LIVE.

All personalized religions of ancient and modern times are based upon truth, and are included within the one truth, or science; for Truth or Spirit is infinite. No individual religion has all of truth to the exclusion of another. God is no respecter of persons. He pervades all alike; and has informed all alike, who have turned to Him in faith, believing. That is, all who have in mentality conformed to the unchanging principle or permanent good, have been informed by the Spirit, of the same truth.

Teachers can state the truth, and give the basic principles to their pupils; but the pupils must work to prove the principles for themselves by right thought and action. Earnest application brings conviction, and conviction is realization. Teaching, experience and proof go hand in hand. When truth is once clearly defined to the student, the student should hold that consciousness of truth, and refuse to entertain its opposite until understanding comes, which brings conviction with it, and erases error.

STATEMENT OF BEING.

God is Spirit; Mind; Principle; Infinite Being.

God is Immutable; Indivisible; One.

God is “Life; Love; Truth” Omnipresent.

“There is one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Eph. iv:6.) This excludes the possibility of there being another Life, Substance, or Power. There are no powers that are not good, “for the powers that be are ordained of God.” A belief in two powers, one Good and the other Evil, one warring against the other, and a belief that Matter is Life, and has powers and laws that are opposed to Infinite Spirit, is the division which causes all desolation. The belief that we have a lower and higher nature, one warring with the other, or that we have a Lower self and a Higher self, each striving to rule, is as a house divided against itself; this belief has brought desolation, division and delusion upon humanity; and has engendered feelings of separateness from God or Goodness, resulting in jealousy, hatred and enmity, one against the other.

Intuition – the eye of understanding – perceives but one power, God – one substance,

Faith – and one law, Love. Therefore we can have but one nature and one self – and the nature of that self is good; because there is but one Source from which that nature can be derived.

As Spirit absolutely fills all and is infinite, there can be no power of evil. The belief of evil is a misconception as to God being infinite, All in all; it cannot therefore be real or permanent, because that condition of mentality is not permanent; its foundation is not truth. All truth is real and eternal. The belief in an infinite good and an infinite evil, co-eternal, has environed the mental expressions of average humanity with fear and doubt, and with all the sufferings that the sense of feeling when environed with false beliefs, is heir to. It is the underlying error of all errors; all incorrect judgments relative to first Cause are traceable to this division in belief. It has kept the thought and memory fluctuating between two beliefs, and this is doubt. And where there is doubt there is no knowledge; for knowledge is a certain perception of truth, – one, whole. This division has also caused beliefs of fear; and where there is fear there is not perfect love, for “Perfect Love casteth out fear.” Love is Unity; and where there is unity, there is perfect love; where there is truth there is oneness – not division. Where there is division there are beliefs in weakness and lack of understanding; where there is belief in division, perfect faith is not fully expressed; and without faith we cannot come to realize that perfect satisfaction for which all are longing and thirsting. It follows, that to realize that there is but one power – God – is the basis of happiness, health, love, faith, justice, knowledge and understanding.

The first step for the student of truth to take, is to put away the belief of an evil power, and take his or her stand in the foundation of unity – that good is all there is. Then by forming all conclusions from that basis, permanent unfoldment of knowledge and power is assured. Goodness, or Spirit, can manifest nothing from itself that is not a likeness of itself.

To you who read this lesson we would say, study it; and keep the unity of absolute Being, also the oneness of life animating all things before you, as a guiding star, by which to pattern your thoughts and deeds; or from which to reason. When you once realize your relationship to God and to all things, and can perceive God as much in one place or thing as another, you have entered the path, and have commenced to know what love and faith are. You know all women and men as your divine sisters and brothers, because you know the one parent Source, which includes all, and is the connecting link whose presence binds all together as one family – as one body, with one calling.

Now that you have entered the path, if the windows of mentality be kept open to consciousness, the ever present good, you will hear with the ear of understanding the inexpressible words of the silence, the voice of the Supreme. The process of awakening has commenced, and truth after truth will unveil within your consciousness; and with every truth made apparent an error will flee before it. We prophesy that in time you will realize that it is not you personally or individually who live, but the Father in you; that is, you will realize He is your light and life, and that He lives in you. When the will and thought is that of the Father’s this understanding follows.

If, while first studying this lesson you think you do not understand it, do not argue with your previous beliefs or with those of another about what you do not understand; but in calm meditation reason from the plane of unity. Commence your calculation where all things commence, in the Infinite; and base no conclusion on appearance or expression, and you will know the truth that frees. What is truth?

God is truth.

To perceive all things embraced within God and pervaded by Him, is truth.

To say that all things are embraced within God and pervaded by Him is to speak the truth.

To know that God is the Life and Light of all at all times is to know the truth.

To know that there can never be a time when the Holy Spirit does not fill full his Holy Temple not made with hands, is to know truth.

Another truth is, that all we know and have expressed of Spirit, is by perceiving and thinking.

What naturally suggests itself to you at this point of the lesson? Is it not that the lesson of life to be learned is to recognize the Divinity that is ever present, by conforming all mental conditions to it, or by representing it in all your ways? Is not this the truth that is life to live? And is not this the religion which binds us to God – which Jesus practiced – than which there is no higher?

At the beginning of your perception of truth you will naturally think that, if the All-good and All-powerful is about us and through us, my duty is to recognize it and feel happy and satisfied; and that not to do so would be ingratitude. You are now unwilling to entertain feelings of inharmony. When these feelings come the shadows are dropping off; the longings of the heart are being gratified. When the Infinite Spirit, in which soul is inherent, is acknowledged, realization of the ever-present Bridegroom – the limitless Source of Being – is felt, and the two are understood to be one, and the heart rejoices in the at-one-ment; for this is the union of Peace and Harmony, eternal in the heavens.

Recognition is the one demand made by principle, which must be fulfilled if the solution of the problem be correct. Acknowledgment is the one demand that God makes of His children, which must be fulfilled if they know Him and express harmony. Recognize Me in all your ways – is the voice of Spirit – the Bridegroom – to the child, and you will demonstrate immortal power and know that I am the Father of all that live.
