Everything that we release we draw to us. This is a spiritual teaching. This is the teaching of the Christ. Everything that you loose you have. Everything that you free, you find bound to you. And so we free ourselves of desire- except that desire for this holy union, this communion with God, this conscious oneness with God, and when we have that, we have it all. And so, again, remember you, individually, in order to be happy, healthy, whole, must find your spiritual teaching. It need not be this one; it may not be my approach. It must be yours. It must be the one to which you can surrender yourself wholeheartedly. It must be the one that would enable you to walk into a metaphysical library or bookshop and say, "I'm not interested in anything in here but the one message, the one book. I have found my own. My own has come to me." When you have found that, you will have found a guide for life, the rule, the laws of God. It is legitimate and right that we search for truth. It is legitimate and right that we investigate every approach that is presented to us that has the smell about it of sanctity, of integrity.
