to the level of a human or material belief, called mortal
man. But the seed is in itself, only as the divine Mind
is All and reproduces all – as Mind is the multiplier,
and Mind's infinite idea, man and the universe, is the

of creation. The intelligent individual idea, be it male
or female, rising from the lesser to the greater, unfolds
the infinitude of Love.
