The material world is a place where each thing seems to say, "Here I am and here I have always been"—as though it has no source.
Only the Creator Himself has no source. He always was and is and will be.
This is the truth of what our world is trying to tell us:
It is expressing—in a distorted way—its own true essence, the Essence of All Being.
A time is yet to come when the distortion shall vanish, when each thing shall declare, "My essence and being is that which is and always was."
