Prayer (1/3)

What, then is true prayer? What is the prayer that leads us unto God? What is the nature of the prayer that reveals our health and supply, our companionship, and the harmonies of every day living? We know that God is the goal, and our work is to attain that goal. If prayer is the way, what is prayer? What is the prayer of faith, of which James speaks, that results in demonstration?

Attainment of the Contemplative Life (5/5)

Therefore, when we receive an assurance of God’s Presence, we may receive nothing further than that, and yet we may be expected to pack up and take a trip around the world without knowing how or why or wherewithal. Or we may be given the something or other that causes us to move to another city, or to give up our position—and strangely enough God doesn’t tell us why or where we’re going to. And, we act on it!

Attainment Of the Contemplative Life (4/5)

And so it is you will find that in your Oneness with God, as far as you can see, everything that you can bear witness to is yours by the Grace of God, and without taking it from someone else. But because of its spiritual nature, it is multiplied in the life of every individual who bears witness to this Truth. Continue reading Attainment Of the Contemplative Life (4/5)

Attainment of the Contemplative Life (3/5)

Once you personalize God, you separate yourself from God’s Grace. The moment you impersonalize by realizing the universal nature of God, and the equality of God’s Grace and bestowal, then you place yourself in the position of praying for your enemies. In other words, knowing the Truth equally about friend or foe, or Greek or Jew, or white or black, or Oriental or Occidental, you are knowing a universal Truth, and you are bringing yourself into a universal principle.

Attainment Of The Contemplative Life (1/5)

We find, as we live our adult life, that so many circumstances outside of us and beyond our control govern our lives—that it is almost ludicrous to say that we are masters of our own fate. But it has been discovered throughout all time, and introduced now in our world—that this need not be so. In other words, an individual need not be a victim of circumstances beyond his own control, he need not live as the object of the evils of life.

Christmas – New Year’s Message

Abide in this Word. Abide in It, live in It. You have meat that the world knows not of. This is the Christ message: You have meat, wine and water and resurrection. You have within you a Presence that was planted there by God that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. And if you live in this awareness morning to night and night to morning, the crust of the human demonstration will break, and the spiritual demonstration will come through. Continue reading Christmas – New Year’s Message

The Religion Of Mysticism (4/4)

In this very moment, relax, so that the word “Peace” can reach and touch you. Let “My Spirit” guide and enrich you. Let “My Spirit” be a Presence going before you to make the crooked places straight. Learn to rest, and rely on this assurance of “My Presence.” Let the peace that passeth understanding descend upon you and envelop you. Let it be the love unto your life; let it be the Presence and the Power unto your life. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (4/4)
