The Law And The Promise
Self-abandonment. That is the secret. We have to abandon ourselves to the state, in our love for the state, and in so doing live the life of the state and no more our present state. Imagination seizes upon the life of the state and gives itself to the expression of the life of that state. Faith plus Love is self-commission. We can't commit ourselves to what we do not love. 'Never would you have made anything if you had not loved it.' And to make the state alive, one must become it. 'I live, yet not I, God lives in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.' God loved man, His created, and became man in faith that this act of self-commission would transform the created into the creative. We must be 'imitators of God as dear children' and commit ourselves to what we love, as God who loved us committed Himself to us. We must BE the state to experience the state.
The secret to manifestation is 'self-abandonment' to the desired state, living from its reality with love. This 'faith plus love' is 'self-commission,' where one becomes the state, mirroring God's act of becoming man to transform the created into the creative. To experience a state, one must 'be' that state.
