God’s Will for His Creation

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 03:29:00 GMT

“If God be for us, who can be against us?” IF God is all there is and the universe is One, then there is no power, presence or law against the Truth! One with the Truth is a totality. If our whole endeavor is to be, and to do, that which is constructive, then we are with Got and we may be sure He is ever with us. God knows no outside. He is ever inside. The outer rim of Reality is exactly at the center of Itself.

NOTHING can keep us from the love of God. What a comfort! What a joy to know that all is well with the soul! What untold sufferings we have had because of our doubts and fears! And we are told not be afraid, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Man alone has tried to rob us of our birthright-the glorious liberty of the Sons of the Most High.

Let us honor God more and man less. Let us seek within for the cause; it can be found in no other place. There is nothing that can keep us from this inner vision of the Eternal Reality.

Rheumatism

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:54:00 GMT

There is no bondage in the Spirit and we should endeavor to realize that the Spirit frees us from every type of bondage. As perfect love casts out all fear and frees us from the bondage of stubbornness and unbelief we should be freed from the outward picturing and manifestation of the pain and congestion which appears as rheumatism. Why should the system secrete impurities or why should there be any acidity if we are governed by Divine Intelligence as to what we should eat and by Divine Law as to how we should eliminate what does not belong to the system? It is well to remind ourselves that the system is spiritual and divinely ordained. God does not make mistakes and our muscles and joints do not need to store up waste matter which causes pain and physical distress.

TO be washed clean of the Spirit should have a real meaning to us and the practitioner should believe that there is such a baptism of Spirit as this. If anyone should criticize him for such a belief he would be a poor worker in this field who ever knew that such condemnation had taken place. Of course we must expect to contradict human experience if we wish to transcend it, how else could Jesus have told the blind man to look up-He said up and not down. The worker in the field of spiritual thought must not be afraid to mentally attack any physical condition with the full assurance that he is dealing with the power that first created and as easily recreates. He does this by knowing that it is done.

Do not hesitate to know that you can heal; you can if you know that you can and not until then. Bondage and freedom are but the two possibilities of our use of the Law. Let us affirm freedom, not bondage.

“My entire system is spiritual and my physical being is now quickened into life and truth. It is cleansed and purified by the power of the word of God within me. This word which I speak is the presence, the power and the Law of God working through me.”

“The energy of the pure and perfect Spirit is now cleansing me from all impurities of the flesh. My elimination is perfect. The joy of the Lord God is within and around me. I live in the sunshine of eternal truth and beauty. I love and understand life. My faith in the healing and the cleansing power of my word is complete. This word penetrates the marrow and bone of my physical being and eliminates all waste substances. My food digests perfectly. I have perfect and complete circulation of love, truth and beauty through my entire system. Love and life permeate every atom of my being. I am washed, cleansed within. I forgive all and am forgiven of all and by all. Nothing remains in my being but love. There is no pain or distress in the joints or in the muscles. My body is the body of God, the Living Spirit Almighty.”

Now take the time to realize the truth of the foregoing statements. It not so much what you say but the mental attitude you have when you say it, that counts. Believe and you will be made whole, is the key thought. Perfect God, perfect man and perfect being. Conform all statements to this proposition.

Thoughts about Food

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:45:00 GMT

Food must be a spiritual idea. It must be an idea of substance and supply. Since the food which we take into the system is fundamentally one with the body which receives it, there is no reason in Spirit why our food should harm us. We cannot expect to overeat or to eat the wrong things and have them agree with us. But there is an intelligence which will guide us into a proper diet. Since each is an individual, the in taking of food is an individual idea and an individual approach to Reality. Whatever our individual physical system needs to make it harmonious, Intelligence will guide us to. But we cannot expect to have our food agree with us if we are constantly condemning it.

“My food agrees with me and I agree with it. There is no condemnation in me or working through me. I understand that food is a spiritual idea of Substance and I am now in complete agreement with this idea. Everything that I eat is perfectly assimilated and perfectly eliminated. I have no trouble digesting my food, for digestion is also a spiritual idea and works in perfect harmony with all that I take into my system. My system is spiritual and harmonious with every idea that passes through it. My food is spiritual and harmonious with my system. Substance and supply for the physical body are both spiritual and cannot create any inner disturbance whatsoever.”

Despair Gives Way to Joy

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:43:00 GMT

Despair gives way to joy at the thought of Thee, Indwelling Good.
I cannot be sad when I think of Thee.
My sorrow is turned to gladness and my shame to rejoicing.
My tears are wiped away and the sunlight of the Spirit shines
through the clouds of depression and lights the way to Heaven.

Thy Joy has made me glad.

Arise, My Spirit

Arise, my Spirit, arise and shine.
Let Thy light illumine my path, and let Thy wisdom direct my way.
Compel my will to do Thy bidding, and command my Soul to look to Thee.
I will follow Thee, my Spirit, and learn of Thee.
I will sit in the Silence and listen and watch, and
I will see Thy light and hear Thy voice.
I will follow Thee and will not depart from Thee,
For in Thee alone is Peace.

Arise and shine.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:41:00 GMT

“Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.” His disciples were depressed, having an instinctive sense that Jesus was about to depart from them. They were filled with sadness. It was on the eve of his betrayal that he spoke these words, “Let not your heart be troubled,” with that calm certainty which has ever been given to the believing. He was not afraid. He had already plumbed the depths of human existence and penetrated into the beyond. He knew that he was an immortal being.

Our hearts are troubled over many things and our mental burdens often become unbearable. It seems, at times, as though a cup of bitterness were being held to unwilling lips, with the demand that they drink. Jesus, standing at the threshold of his greatest experience, foreknew that he would turn apparent defeat into glorious victory. From the calm depth of an undisturbed soul, he spoke words of comfort to those of lesser understanding.

He told them to believe in God, and because of their belief in God, to believe also in him. Again he is referring to the individual “I” as the outward manifestation of the Universal “I AM.” We are to believe in ourselves because we believe in God. The two are ONE. We are to know that passing events cannot hinder the onward march of the soul. The temporal imperfection of the human cannot dim the eternal integrity of the Divine.

Love

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:40:00 GMT

Love is the central flame of the universe, nay, the very fire itself. It is written that God is Love, and that we are His expressed likeness, the image of the Eternal Being. Love is self-giving-ness through creation, the impartation of the Divine through the human.

Love is an essence, an atmosphere, which defies analysis, as does Life Itself. It is that which IS and cannot be explained: it is common to all people, to all animal life, and evident in the response of plants to those who love them. Love reigns supreme over all.

The essence of love, while elusive, pervades everything, fires the heart, stimulates the emotions, renews the soul and proclaims the Spirit. Only love knows love, and love known only love. Words cannot express its depths or meaning. A universal sense alone bears witness to the divine fact: God is Love and Love is God.

The Light of the World

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:39:00 GMT

“I am the light of the world.” Jesus was not referring to his human personality, but to the Principle inherent in generic man. They who follow this inner Principle shall have the light of life; for this Principle is life.

“I AM” has a dual meaning. It is both individual and universal. God was revealed to Moses as the great “I AM,” the Universal Cause, the Causeless or Self-existent One. Moses taught that “I AM” is the First Principle of all life, and the Law of cause and effect running through everything. The whole teaching of Moses is based upon the perception of this “First Principle.”

Jesus said that he came, not to destroy the law of Moses, but to fulfill it. How could he fulfill it except by teaching the relationship of the universal “I AM” to the individual “I”? In all the sayings of Jesus, we find this thought brought out: that God is Universal Spirit and man is His image and likeness … an individualization of His eternity. Therefore, when we understand our own “I” we shall walk in that light which lights the world unto the perfect “I AM.”

We can consider this from another viewpoint. Man is the only self-knowing mind of which we are conscious. A self-knowing mind, of course, is one that is conscious of what it knows. Man, the only self-conscious being in the world, must be the light of the world. To know this and to understand why it is so, is to know that Truth which alone can make free. Truth is eternal and eternity is timeless, hence, if one knows the Truth, he will never see death. Death has nothing to do with life everlasting, and is but an impatient gesture of the soul, wishing to rid itself of a body no longer useful.
