By grace I am released.â?? Grace is an aspect of the Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the Unity of truth. It is the worldâ??s most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where it can be gently laid and willingly received; an altar clean and holy for the gift.

Oneness is simply the idea God is. And in His Being He encompasses all things. No mind holds anything but Him. We say â??God is,â?? and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them, and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of something not itself. It has united with its Source, and like its Source Itself, it merely is. We cannot speak nor write nor even think of this at all.It comes to every mind when total recognition that its will is Godâ??s has been
