Q. When one prays, to whom does he pray?
A. One prays directly to God - not through any person or thing. There is only God and His creation. God created this universe. You are part of His universe. You extend directly from God as one with Him in His Light. He is the only Source of your power. Your direct connection with your Creator is through the centering Consciousness within youself. You talk to God when you commune with that Self which is within you. God and the centering Self are One.
- Q&A, - Divine ILIAD, vol. 1
There are no seperate things in the universe. There are no two of anything. The universe is wholly MIND, omnipotent, omnscient, omnipresent MIND. That which we call vibrating waves of matter are but the electric recordings of God's knowing as manifested by His thinking.
God alone IS.
-The meaning of universal oneness, DI, vol. 1
This correlates with the DS teaching that there is only God and God in expression, for the Totality of all creation represents the Idea of God manifesting in form thru the logos-expression of creative thought (the Word). All diversity of creation arises from the One Universal Mind within the Matrix of infinite potential. Man shares in creative expression of mind with God in the experience of Life and its momentum towards the divine Ideal of the Original Vision. All springs from the One and returns to the One...only to extend forth again in renewed cycles and births to prosper the eternal Will.
