Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

The Natural and the Supernatural by John Bascom is an excellent book about the dialectics inherent within discussions of Spiritual Living. John Bascom was the original creator of Science of Mind. His works were a deep influence on the Holmes brothers who borrowed many of his ideas. "If thought admits, for a moment, that anything is uncertain, vacillating, without law, that thing becomes to it at once a phantom, and no part of the substantial frame-work of things. This is bold language, and science utters it resoundingly, and finds itself infinitely magnified by its means." "We and nature must stand together face to face, each fully clothed with its own attributes, ... that action and re-action can be opened which makes human history." "There is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth him understanding. Out of this fellowship of thought, we have access to the divine thought."
