individual is never separated from the One Will.

There are apparently separate wills because objects are externally separated from each other, but the Will is not subject to the laws that measure material substance and divide it into parts. On the vast ocean of Will you rise as a wave on one part of its surface while I rise as another wave on another part of its surface. You may be in London and I in Washington, but the omnipresent Will joins us as one. Your wave may move to the North and mine to the South, or yours to the East and mine to the West, but we both are one with the ocean of Will.

The whole force of the Universe is conserved in the One Will. Its energy as a whole is never increased, never diminished, always the same in its entirety, though its individual demonstrations differ, now manifesting great power, now little, as the case may be.

The Will is constructive except at times when it destroys for the purpose of building a better structure. Nature's effort in Evolution is to bring all beings to the highest expression possible, and the energy that backs and sustains this effort is the Universal Will; hence it is good and we can trust it to work out our highest ideals and aspirations.

Weakness and disease mark a falling away from the Ideal, but in this falling away we are led to a knowledge of the laws of health, and learn the possibility of repair and reconstruction.
