When we work consciously with the higher power, we become co-agents in the great universal work.

"There is only one Force in the universe, but it bifurcates itself, and then bifurcates itself again, and still again, and so on, until it shows itself in the form of many apparently different forces; but trace them back to their original source, and they are found finally to be one.

People call this God, the Creator. It dwells hidden back of all other forces. When a man can humble himself sufficiently to acknowledge his spiritual ignorance, his emotional weaknesses, and his mental limitations, when he can do all this in the right spirit, he is making himself ready for the divine visitation.

You will consciously contact this power by becoming its instrument; you will intelligently cooperate with it. You cannot use the divine power, but it will use you. That power is able to manifest in every possible form and on every possible plane.

Working through you, it makes you a conscious constructive part of the great elemental creation of Nature so that you no longer act by your own personal understanding and strength alone, but as its agent.

You become literally conscious of this higher power acting through you, sensing a Force which is beyond and above that known by the vast majority of men. In the sequence you will see miracles happen before your eyes, whether they be material, mental, or spiritual, because that power has no limitations, no bounds.

When we understand the purpose of incarnation and the purpose of evolution, and when we work consciously with the higher power, we become co-agents in the great universal work which Nature is trying to accomplish. Then our own power becomes sublime and immense.

That power becomes your reward when you permit it to work through you. No one can dictate to it. You must submit and surrender, and then let it work as it wishes."

- Paul Brunton, The Inner Reality, 1939
