It is the discriminating faculty of the human mind that makes life so interesting, causes all this diversity and diversion yet at the same time makes for every sort of difficulty. The highest vibrations and the lowest are as one in principle, but through the analytical faculty of intellect they appear different and thus this faculty makes it difficult or impossible for one to realize unity. It is the realization of Oneness that takes a person above all discrimination and distinction. When this is accomplished you at once realize your unity in essence with all things, and with all thingness. But this also takes one above the realm of words and thoughts; these distinguish and define and are not of the nature of absolute unity.
