Question: Are will and consciousness fundamentally the same.
Answer: Yes. It is the two expressions of one thing, and this makes them distinct. This duality comes out of unity. It is God's own Being that in expression is will, in repose consciousness. In other words: in action it is will, in stillness it is consciousness -just as fundamentally sound and light are one and the same thing. In one condition the same vibrations are audible, in another condition the friction of vibrations produces light. That is why the nature and character of sound and light are one and the same. And so are the nature and character of consciousness and will, because fundamentally both belong to God's own Being.
