Intellectual Wisdom is of short duration, but the Wisdom of Life is Eternal. The Wisdom of Life is the Savior of mankind, and every man has got to be his own Savior, by calling to the “I AM” Presence of Life and undoing all the mistakes he has made! To have them dissolved and consumed is the only way he can be saved from his own creation. You have heard the old statement so long used: “Oh, save my soul” - which is your emotional body, your feeling world which has created all the discord that has ever beset you as an individual; and the word “soul” is not synonymous with God, as many have so interpreted it! Soul is the discordant creation of man! God is the “I AM” - your Mighty Presence of Life.
How do you suppose, Ladies and Gentlemen, that in Egypt and those ancient places, such distortion came about in the gods which were created? Because some of their priests had once seen this “I AM” Presence of Life – God Individualized; then, because of their lack of obedience, had lost the Vision of It. They returned into their own human creation, and when they were no longer able to find that “I AM Presence” or see It, they turned and created their own gods to deceive mankind – which they did! That was the downfall of Egypt and everyone else who attempts it. So I say to you, Beloved Students, never pretend to be what you are not!
