<h1>Expansion and WideningSummary</h1>

<div style="color:#000000;">''Widen your consciousness to the dimension of the earth and you will have a place for everything.''<ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/aims-and-principles#p331</ref></div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The very nature of mind, life and body is to evolve. The One Consciousness divides itself into innumerable fragments for the need of expansion. </span><span style="color:#000000;">Life itself seeks for the perfection which it is eternally capable of<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-ascent-of-life#p1</ref></span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The pressure from the spiritual worlds prepares a field to manifest the indwelling spirit. There is a constant labour of nature to ascend into a higher principle of being. It takes up all that is lower into the higher values.</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">We are at a decisive hour in the history of the earth. It is preparing for the coming of the superman and because of this the old way of life is losing its value. We must strike out boldly on the path of the future despite its new demands. The pettinesses once tolerable, are tolerable no longer. We must widen ourselves to receive what is going to come.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/29-december-1971#p1</ref></div>

<span style="color:#000000;">We start with the will to expand from the ignorant consciousness to a boundless finite<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-origin-and-remedy-of-falsehood-error-wrong-and-evil#p29</ref></span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">We engage in new range of activities. We work with the sense of unity with the Divine. We feel the Divine moving, thinking and feeling in us. To feel the body in the wide free self and not attached to the limitations of the body.</span>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Make all activities an outpouring of </span><span style="color:#000000;">love for the One in All who is the Highest<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-ascent-of-the-sacrifice-ii#p1</ref></span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Love for all forms and creatures around us, we break free from the shell of ego.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">Surrender</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">of our little selves - our personal ideas, desires and attachments so that the Divine may take up everything. If we insist on our own ideas and reasonings, greater Light and Knowledge cannot come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/science-and-yoga#p9</ref></span>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">By becoming more </span><span style="color:#000000;">quieter and calmer<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/12-february-1951#p5</ref></span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">without getting excited and agitated, we put ourselves in a capacity to receive from the higher forces.</span>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Widening and expansion gives a great joy of being, a clearer sense of truth and things and an inner silence. We see things in a larger light and detect the origin and law of our feelings, emotions and sensations. The thick layer of </span><span style="color:#000000;">ego gets thinned<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/out-of-the-sevenfold-ignorance-towards-the-sevenfold-knowledge#p16</ref></span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">and we see ourselves reduced to a point of working of the universal force. We are not carried away by the shocks and injuries, we deal with it in a </span><span style="color:#000000;">calm equality</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-gnostic-being#p25</ref> </span>
