The Soul is related to God as the finite to the Infinite, the resemblance being in quality, but not in scope. To use an illustration, which is not to be taken literally, but relatively, the quality of the drop of water is the same as the quality of water in the whole ocean; but the globule or drop will never become the ocean--even though it seems to be lost in the ocean, its entity as a globule is the same; or as you are
encompassed by the walls of this room and pervaded by its atmosphere, but you are neither the room nor the atmosphere, nor are you composed of parts of the room or atmosphere, nor are you a part of either.
To further illustrate or compare the quality of the Soul with the quality of the Infinite, we would compare the single ray of light with the whole of the rays of light that emanate from a sun or solar center; but you must not make the mistake of supposing that we mean, therefore, that the Infinite is composed of the whole number of finite Souls, for then the Infinite would be limited to the number of Souls in the universe, but such is not the case; the Soul has its being within the Infinite, but is not the Infinite.
The finite and the Infinite are not interchangeable; therefore the Soul never becomes Infinite, nor is it lost in the Infinite, nor does the Infinite ever become finite; that would imply limitation.
With these definitions you are prepared to know, as the Soul bears always the same relation to the Infinite, as it is immortal and in eternity: there is no beginning to, nor can there be any cessation of, its being. It is uncreated as God is; but, as the Soul is finite, its being must forever be encompassed by the Infinite.
The power of understanding this relation is innate in the Soul of man, no other basis is possible; when you endeavor to consider Deity by any other method except that which belongs to the Soul, there is failure. It is from the Soul that there is the first perception and conception of God, that there is recognition of God, and that there is satisfaction with the consciousness of the presence of God.
These statements, concerning the Infinite and finite, must be borne in mind through this entire series of lessons: the Soul never changes places with the Infinite; the Soul is never nearer the Infinite; the Soul is not remote from the Infinite.
