Expression of Spirit

"To use the Creative Process we must Affirm the Creative Power, that is
to say, we must go back to the Beginning of the series and start with
Pure Spirit, only remembering that this starting-point is now to be
found in ourselves, for this is what distinguishes the individual
Creative Process from the cosmic one. This is where the importance of
realizing only ONE Originating Power instead of two interacting powers
comes in, for it means that we do not derive our power from any existing
polarity, but that we are going to establish polarities which will start
secondary causation on the lines which we thus determine. 
 
This also is where the importance comes in of recognizing that the only
possible originating movement of spirit must be Self-contemplation, for
this shows us that we do not have to contemplate existing conditions but
the Divine Ideal, and that this contemplation of the Divine Ideal of Man
is the Self-contemplation of the Spirit from the standpoint of Human
Individuality."
