a part of God, a part of this
spirit, a part of the power with Him, am, therefore, at one with God
and all thought.

I am therefore at one with God and all spirit. Nothing can separate me
from the love of God, but my own mental attitude. Nothing can separate
me from abundance, happiness, success, prosperity and love, but my own
wrong thinking. Love is dealt in the world in the spirit of God and,
therefore, recognizing this unity of love, I am a part of it and have
perfect love, success, prosperity, abundance and health.

The ocean is composed of water. If I take a bucket of water from the
ocean, it still is the water of the ocean. I may take this water to an
island in the sea. Though I have separated this water from the main
body of the ocean, it still is the water from the sea. But, as the
water is separated from the main body of the ocean, it loses its power,
its strength and many of its cardinal properties. I am the same as the
sea water when I, by wrong thinking:--whether it be jealousy, envy,
hatred, misunderstanding, worry or fear--separate myself from the
spirit of God. I am as one going upon an island of humanity. I am still
of that same spirit; but it has been separated, so that within me, it
has lost many of its cardinal virtues. These virtues are there, but I
do not recognize them. Separation has lessened my strength, my
vitality, my power, my health, my happiness, my prosperity and my joy.

Just as it is necessary for the bucket of water to remain in the ocean
in order to contain all of its original power and to retain all of its
original strength, to be intact, so is it necessary for man to keep in
the spirit of at-one-ment with the Father, that we may manifest daily
God's principle of Unity with God, man and nature.

When we have maintained that attitude of one-ness with the Father in
all respects, we are then recognizing and expecting, in this act, the
fullness of our spirit. This fullness of our spirit will, therefore,
give us health, prosperity and happiness.

When I have a mind that is filled with negative, discordant or
inharmonious thoughts, I am separating myself from the full expression
of the Divine within me. I am the bucket of water going stale on a
human island; but, when I make my spirit at one with the Father by
harmonious thinking, by love, kindness, good will, fellowship and
co-operation, I am not only maintaining all of my original properties,
but I am in correspondence with the Infin
