Students, for many years, have come to this school asking for a better understanding of God, and desiring knowledge of the best way to get the most out of life. They have heard God spoken of as being afar off, when He is as close to us as the breath we breathe, closer than our hands and feet. They have heard Him spoken of as: Love, Divine Mind, Divine Intelligence, God, Lord, First Cause, Primal Substance, and other names. Being of an analytical mind, I, too, have wanted to know the facts of a Truth. If it is a Truth, these are facts to be had, and they can prove themselves, not alone in Spirit but in a very practical way.
It is my intention to present these lessons simply, without high-minded words or vague statements that sound pretty and promising. The terms above named are all synonymous. They mean one and the same thing, and I choose to use a simpler name that everyone will understand. I shall call God working in our lives "LAW." Interpreting the Law in several ways should bring it more clearly into our way of thinking. Then as we strive to work with the Law we are living closer to God, and such living brings a better understanding.
Dr. Raymond Holliwell had a highly logical mind and was an inspired teacher who employed a clear, specific approach to life and the laws that govern it.
