6. The highest state of Consciousness is when there is no person anymore - there is just 'I' voicing Itself.

Chapter Nineteen
1. There is only one enemy - the universal belief that material and mental force can control this world.
2. There is no power in the visible world.

5. When we have stood in a complete Silence and permitted Spirit to permeate mind and body, It prepares the way.
6. Rest in the Silence that created the Universe and let it perform Its function.
