This is what we mean when we speak of it as The Spirit of the Affirmative, and I would ask my readers to impress this term upon their minds.

Once grant that the All-originating Spirit is thus the Spirit of the Pure Affirmative, and we shall find that this will lead us logically to results of the highest value.
If, then, we keep this Perpetual and Progressive Creativeness of the Spirit continually in mind we may rely upon its working as surely in ourselves as in that great cosmic forward movement which we speak of as Evolution.

It is the same power of Evolution working within ourselves, only with this difference, that in proportion as we come to realize its nature we find ourselves able to facilitate its progress by offering more and more favorable conditions for its working.

We do not add to the force of the Power, for we are products of it and so cannot generate what generates _us_; but by providing suitable conditions we can more and more highly specialize it.

This is the method of all the advance that has ever been made.
