[The Creative Process in the Individual by Thomas Troward]@TWC D-Link bookThe Creative Process in the Individual CHAPTER XI 19/47
The one is limited by human personality, the other is based on the Infinitude of the Divine Personality; and because of this it includes human personality with all its powers over the Soul of Nature.
It is a case of the greater including the less; and so the whole teaching of Scripture is directed to bringing us into the recognition of that Divine Personality which is the Great Original in whose image and likeness we are made.
In proportion as we grow into the recognition of _this_ our own personality will explain, and the creative power of our thought will cease to work invertedly until at last it will work only on the same principles of Life, Love and Liberty as the Divine Mind, and so all evil will disappear from our world.
We shall not, as some systems teach, be absorbed into Deity to the extinction of our individual consciousness, but on the contrary our individual consciousness will continually expand, which is what St.Paul means when he speaks of our "increasing with the increase of God"-- the continual expanding of the Divine element within us.
But this can only take place by our recognition of ourselves as _receivers_ of this Divine element.
