Text: "Spirit is the First Cause, the primary beginning, the motivative influence, - as God is Spirit. "Spirit is the First Cause. Mind is an effect, or an active force that partakes of spiritual as well as material import. Mind is an essence or a flow between Spirit and that which is made manifest materially. "God, the First Cause, in spirit, created in spirit the separate influences or forces that are a portion of, and manifested in the spirit of, God. In that essence, to become materially manifested through the evolution of the spirit of God, sin first began. "The first concept as may be had of that in materiality is that it is an essence, without form, save as it begins to manifest, - as would be gas, odor, wind, smoke, - yet that it has with it the will, the mind, the power to make manifest by that with which, in which, it manifests, - as does also odor, gas, wind and the like. "Thus - as the activities came - we may assume that the First Cause was Spirit, Mind, Will." Cayce (262-123)
