(continued)
I aspire to infinite force, infinite knowledge, infinite bliss, but can I attain it? Yes, in theory, but the nature of infinity is that it has no end. I say not, therefore, that I can attain it, but am forever becoming it. I attain God by striving to become like God, but attainment is to enter into relations with him. There are relations within the scope of my human development called prayer, worship, adoration, sacrifice, thought, faith, science, philosophy. There are other relations beyond my developed capacity but within the range of my potential. My bonds, however, are many and intricate. The most difficult of all is egoism, the delusion that I have an individual existence sufficient in itself and separate from the Unconditioned, who is beyond time, space and causality. I can hardly hope to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is entirely possible to attain the supernal and divine goal which the infinite God has set for me, and when I do achieve this destiny, I will, in all that pertains to self-realization and mind attainment, be just as replete in my sphere of divine perfection as God himself is in his sphere of infinity and eternity. Such perfection may not be universal in the material sense, unlimited in intellectual grasp, or final in spiritual experience, but it is final and complete in all finite aspects of divinity of will, perfection of personality motivation, and God-consciousness.
