God's Will

To the scientific mind, the will of God is manifest in the immutable laws of

the universe. For the overzealous religious, their definition of the will of

God appears to come through some special revelation giving birth to a certain

spiritual system of thought which forever after is to be taken dogmatically

and accepted without question, a truth and a faith once and for all delivered.

But it is evident that God's will and God's nature must be identical. If the

nature of God is limitation and bondage, then the will of God must be

limitation and bondage.

When we use the word God, we mean the Great Reality. The Infinite Unity. The

Final Truth back of all manifest life. The Absolute and Causeless Cause. The

One Unconditioned Complete and Perfect Being. Indivisible, Changeless, and

Whole. If the nature of God, or Reality, were unhappiness, then the will of

God would be toward unhappiness. But to suppose that the nature of God could

be toward any form of limitation is to suppose not only an inconsistency, but

an impossibility. The Truth is Limitless. The Nature of God, then, is not one

of limitation or bondage but liberty. Our divine inheritance is self-

sufficiency, perfection, peace, wholeness, and this must include abundance,

self-expression, accomplishment, and happiness.
