A man can never outgrow or lose the God he knows in a first person, present tense experience. And when he finds this God, he tells his brothers, saying: "If I had not come and spoken to you, you would have no sin, but now you have no excuse for your sins."

That is all that is necessary for us to do to increase our belief, to extend the boundaries of what we believe to be possible. All that we are now is the result of our believing; every action and word shows forth what we have been believing, and are now holding in mind.
