MIRROR
MEDITATION
By EAAMITT L. BRINSON
Out there In the Infinite depths
of space and time moves a con
trolling spirit. To some, look
ing at all their sight might
record, there appears chaos.
But If we for a moment grasp
this wonder as order In time,
It becomes beautifully drama
tic.
There Is rhythm and timing
and measure in all of exist
ence as perfect and as In time
as a well played symphony. This
is found throughout all of crea
tion from the largest to the
smallest, most minute particles
of matter and life.
The energy behind matter and
life channels itself by prede
termined duties Into definite
units and In return dissolves
into measured pulsations of ra
diation. There Is definite evi
dence of design and architec
ture In all there Is.
The same atomic structures
are repeated everywhere, and
as climate permits, there Is
every reason to believe life
is the same elsewhere in space
as we see it li^t here on this
infinitesimal globe.
Everywhere this spirit of na
ture Is at work. Galaxies are

measured In time beyond our
comprehension. They too run
their course of growth and dis
solution. Their life spans are
but clocks of time. Within them,
stars are born, great furnaces
of cosmic energy dissolve as
radiation in their seasons.
Around some of these stars
we find satellites; the offspring
of stars running their course
within the larger system. They
ml^t seem Insignificant beside
the shining parent, but It is
in these that the parent be
comes part of a mysterious
drama.
It is within the history of
these fragments of stars that
life i^ipears; and in due time,
mind and life become aware of
the course of nature, of Its
travels, and can peer Into the
mysteries of all this law and
order of which it and we are
a parL
It is a great mistake for mo
dernists to substitute science
lor religlcHi lor they are
branded as intellectually Im
mature. Nor can religion still
view the universe in an anti
quated science. To do so they
become calloused and Ignorant.
In all this advance we must
take another look at the Crea
tor. We must understand Him
as immeasurablelnageortime,
that His purpose and plan are
endless, forever growing, going
forward.
We should not cringe at evo
lution, It is but a different
point of view. Evolution is but
a description of God at work
in His infinite, creative pro
cesses.
We need to think of God in
new terms. We need to re
lease Him from just a human
copy' enthroned somewhere

eternally in the heavens with
faults like our own.
We need to think of God as
pervasive energy, an ever pre
sent universal mind, encom
passing everything. Oh, the in
finite complexity of God’s cre-
ativenessl Like light, God’s
presence breaks differently
with the character of the prism;
like chemical energy it gives
rise to new properties, new
individuals in creative syn
thesis of our finite activities
with His life.
The total life situation counts
the precipitation of our love
Into His love. God Is Incar
nated, reborn differently under
different conditions “Life like
a dome of many colored glass,
stains the white radiance of
eternity.”
It Is not only In the match
less personality of Galilee that
God is Incarnated; but God is
incarnated in a unique way
wherever there Is new birth
In goodness and beauty. Every
true religious experience, one
feels God.
God does not repeat himself
In human relations any more
than he repeats himself in peo
ple, or snowflakes, or blades
of grass, or sunsets, or the
play of shadows on the moun
tains.
The external setting is the
body of the occasion and cannot
be divorced from the inner
grace of spirit. God has all
seasons for His own. His crea
tive loyalty Is the same, but
His gifts differ with the oc
casion. So shall we find Him
everywhere.
Ah, yes. There Is controlling
spirit in the infinite depths
of space and time. Call It what
one may—I’ve found a new
and bigger concept of “God.”
