11) However, as long as we have a sense of duality, it is difficult for us to grasp the truth of the phenomenon on a visible level. Masters do not take into account any plan outside the spiritual- become manifest. If one believes only in the existence of the latter and that this thought is affirmed aloud, we obviously refuse the realization of our ideal, because we are interested in the three plans or it is subject to manifest. Now we know perfectly well that this ideal only materializes on the spiritual level.
12) If we set on this plane, we’re projecting ourselves in his real day-in material terms-he would then become useless because totally opposed to the spiritual reality the only one that is really of importance. 2 + 2 = 4 in our mind, according to the mathematical principle and also in its manifestation. These are not three different planes, but always the mathematical reality that is never separated or differentiated.
13) Once a thing has manifested itself, the fact that it is affixed to a material or physical label cannot affect it in any way. You cannot harm reality, it is always elevated or exalted to the spiritual. This is the meaning of Jesus ‘ words when he said: “If you exalt all things to the spirit, they already exist.” Of course, he had precisely this idea when he uttered this prayer: “Father, I thank you for hearing me and for continuing to hear me.” He knew perfectly well that what he considered his ideal was already accomplished. For him, this ideal was realized immediately. Then he added: “If you enter the vineyard, it is already ready for the harvest.”
14) Now adopt this precise position. Christ immediately overcame all difficulties by choosing a certain attitude. It was in his eyes an instant process. He did not let himself be deceived by the non-existence of difficulties, did not deny them, he never denied any situation. He mastered them by climbing to the true spiritual Condition: “I still live in spirit.”
15) The Bible says, “I still live in a spirit” and this translation is false. The interpolation of the article “one” in an inadequate place radically changes the meaning of this sentence and has provoked many misinterpretations.
16) According to the Bible, “God is a spirit,” but the original meant “God is Spirit” Phrase that did not confine him to any attribute, has no condition. We wrote this: it is as if one tried to close the intelligence of God in a bottle of one liter. Spirit and mind are synonymous. Their vibratory influence is one and the same. They seem different to us because we believe that our thoughts give us directions. The mind is conscious, for the mind and consciousness are inseparable. The consciousness factor is thought and, when he is aware of the spiritual reality, there is no difference between mind and spirit. We are then in a state of spiritual consciousness.
