And when we say, “Holy Christ Selves of all mankind,” we really should say, “Holy Christ Self of all mankind,” underscoring the mystery of oneness and how that great Law of the One can manifest in time and space many times over and still be that one. It is this mystery and the absence of understanding of it that has confused all of Christendom. | And when we say, “Holy Christ Selves of all mankind,” we really should say, “Holy Christ Self of all mankind,” underscoring the mystery of oneness and how that great Law of the One can manifest in time and space many times over and still be that one.

The ritual of the breaking of the Bread of Life is the initiation of the individualization of the God flame. Though there be one L<small>ORD</small> and one God, yet that L<small>ORD</small> and that God has personified himself in the [[I AM Presence]]. As depicted in the [[Chart of Your Divine Self|Chart]], the I AM Presence stands just above in direct relation to each of us. | The ritual of the breaking of the Bread of Life is the initiation of the individualization of the God flame.

Just think of an actual photograph of [[Jesus]] being published in ''Life'' magazine. Ten million copies do not add up to 10 million Jesuses, but just one. | Just think of an actual photograph of [[Jesus]] being published in ''Life'' magazine.

In giving you and me a Mighty I AM Presence and a Holy Christ Self, our Father gave us the Divine Image and the Christ Image—exact replicas of the originals. These Images contain and ''are'' the Allness of the one L<small>ORD</small> and the one God, and the Allness of the only begotten Son, the one Christ and the one Saviour. | In giving you and me a Mighty I AM Presence and a Holy Christ Self, our Father gave us the Divine Image and the Christ Image—exact replicas of the originals.

Because Jesus Christ is, was and forever shall be the incarnation of the [[I AM THAT I AM]] and of the Son of God, he is always one with your Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self.

At the Last Supper, Jesus shared with his disciples this mystery of the One, the individed Whole. He took bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to the disciples saying, “Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you....”<ref>I Cor. 10:24.</ref> | At the Last Supper, Jesus shared with his disciples this mystery of the One, the individed Whole.

Each piece of bread Jesus gave to his disciples from the whole loaf was the gift of himself. It was the gift of his Christhood. Each piece was a portion of his Universal Light Body. Yet each piece ''was'' the Whole. | Each piece of bread Jesus gave to his disciples from the whole loaf was the gift of himself. It was the gift of his Christhood.

This is the meaning of the Law of the One and it explains the mystery of the breaking of the Lord’s Body (symbolically and actually). The Lord’s Body has many manifestations, but these do not detract from its essential oneness. | This is the meaning of the Law of the One and it explains the mystery of the breaking of the Lord’s Body (symbolically and actually).
