The Creative Process in the Individual

CHAPTER XI
10/47

The powers latent in the Impersonal are brought out to their fullest development by the operation of the Personal.

This of course does not consist in changing the nature of those powers, for that is impossible, but in making such combinations of them by Personal Selection as to produce results which could not otherwise be obtained.

Thus, for example, Number is in itself impersonal and no one can alter the laws which are inherent in it; but what we can do is to select particular numbers and the sort of relation, such as subtraction, multiplication, etc., which we will establish between them; and then by the inherent Law of Number a certain result is bound to work out.

Now our own essential quality is the consciousness of Personality; and as we grow into the recognition of the fact that the Impersonal is, as it were, crying out for the operation upon it of the Personal in order to bring its latent powers into working, we shall see how limitless is the field that thus opens before us.
The prospect is wonderful beyond our present conception, and full of increasing glory if we realize the true foundation on which it rests.

But herein lies the danger.
