Your conception of an idea has the same relations to that idea as the seed of an oak has to the full grown oak. Your imagining is recorded in your very Soul, and from the stillness of your Soul the idea extends into form, just as the form of the oak extends from the stillness of its formless seed.
The inner joyousness of conceiving an idea and imagining its form and purpose is as uplifting as the “created” extensions of it are, and it is purposeful even if it but uplifts you alone. To be purposeful for the world, however, you must give your inspired imaginings of formed body which responds to the senses of man. It is through this action-reaction of giving your creation a material body that you make it a masterpiece. Extending your Soul into it by moment-to-moment communion with God is the way you give love to your creation. If you do not extend love from your Soul to your creation, you do not give it life. Not having life or love given to it, it cannot regive life or love to inspire others. It is already dead and soon will be buried in the trash basket of dead things.
A masterpiece of any product whatsoever is that to which the life and love of the Creator’s Soul have been extended to it through your Soul for re-extension to other men by re-inspiring them with your immortality.
Above all, remember, moment by moment, that your body is an extension of YOU. If you give it love, it will regive love. If you make of it a surly, grievous unbalanced thing, it will extend to others what you extend to it. Stop right here and give some deep thought to this idea. Then come back to it often and give more and more thought to it until you become meticulously careful as to what thoughts you are going to allow to pass through your body, lest you make your body ill and drive others away from you by your repellent thoughts and repellent body.
