The lesson
In California grow a thousand trees, each has an InnateIntelligence; hovering over these is a Universal Mind composed of onethousand Innate Minds, the one thousand is one; one is a thousand. It’sbut a question of viewpoint. The same exists in Arizona. We associateone thousand trees growing in each, each has an Innate mind, and yetover all is one universal mind. It is the unital minds workingharmoniously that makes a Universal Mind. In our last analysis InnateMind is the individualized expression of the Universal Mind. Thatshows how allied Innate Minds are with Universal Mind.Innate admires our bodies. Tries to put more color into skin; makebetter form; make man strong. That is the idea. Then looks upon thefigure of man with admiration and builds woman for beauty and yet,educationally, to look upon a nude body is criminal. Can we say,educationally, you are working in accord with the Innate mind? IfInnate is equivalent to one hundred per cent, we can justly say ourEducated Minds are the one-hundredth in comparison, so insignificantare the ideals of one compared with the other.Pressure upon nerves carrying continuous currents from the InnateBrain to Educated Brain is interfering with proper transmission,anywhere from a fraction of one per cent to ninety-nine per cent ofcurrents. We cannot expect any person, male or female, child or adult,black or white, animal or human, to think one hundred per centthoughts when they are not getting the current to think with. It takesforce acting through matter to act thought and, no matter how muchyour mind wishes, if you have not currents going through that brainyou cannot think pure wholesome thought. I do not look with scorn orcontempt upon the person who cannot appreciate Innate’s ideal. Thereis a cause which needs adjusting. I should be his friend.If it takes one hundred per cent of Intelligence acting through onehundred per cent of matter in that Innate brain to appreciate beauty ofthe nude, you can imagine how an Educated mind would look uponthe same object if there was only fifty per cent of intelligence actingthrough one hundred per cent of matter.
