Spirit Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. . . . It is the Spirit that quickeneth. —I CORINTHIANS 12:4 AND JOHN 6:63 "Out of unity comes variety. All things are made from one formless Substance. The invisible essence of everything is pure Spirit. It is a realization of this Spirit at the center of everything that enables us to see God in everyone. "It is the Spirit that quickeneth." When we recognize the Spirit in anything or anyone, there is an equal reaction from the Spirit back to us, and we are made more alive through the divine influx that follows our recognition.

Today I am resolved to see the Spirit in everything; therefore, today I know that my own spirit is quickened. I know that there is an inner Presence in everything I will contact and that will respond to me. I know that everything is alive, awake, and aware with this Presence; that in all the changing scenes of my experience I will be contacting this one Presence. Therefore, I go forth to meet the Divine, to enjoy His bounty, and consciously live in His house forevermore."

Spirit is the active and Self-Conscious Principle. Spirit is First Cause or God—the Absolute Essence of all that is. It is the Great or Universal I Am. —THE SCIENCE OF MIND, P. 81
