Your intent in meditation is to be the transparency through which God, or the Light, performs Its work, not you. There is no room in spiritual living for ego or egotism or personal powers ‑ none whatsoever. You do not meditate so as to exercise power for yourself or for another.

Prayer is a contemplation of is. God is ! Life is ! Love is ! Joy is ! Prayer is an outflowing of gratitude that God has given us the heavens and the earth for our glory. Prayer is a heart full of gratitude for the still greater blessings in prayer yet to be revealed. “Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” Continue reading Meditation
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! Continue reading Attainment of the Contemplative Life (5/5)
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)
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. Continue reading Attainment of the Contemplative Life (3/5)
Now, the first step has to be your realization that “the Kingdom of God is within you.” There has to be the realization that whatever of spiritual power is to be brought into your experience, has to be brought in through your own being. Continue reading Attainment Of the Contemplative Life (2/5)
Therefore, pray for your enemies. Pray for those who despitefully use you. Pray for your enemies by realizing: There too goes the son of God, the seed planted in the midst of them. Your recognition of that seed within him is the very nurturing that it needs to develop into the son of God and to bring it forth. Continue reading The Significance of Christmas
The world will accept the Christ when the world is sufficiently in need of It: The Hebrews under Pharaoh accepted Moses, but their need was great; the Hebrews under Caesar accepted the Christ, also because their need was great. And so this entire world will accept the Christ when its need becomes great enough. Some evidence of this is becoming apparent because in those countries that have experienced the greatest problems we have found the greatest receptivity and response. Continue reading The Spiritual Christmas part 2
Within the consciousness of every person in the world, and in the consciousness of all those who have been here and of all those who have not yet come to this plane of existence, there is this spiritual Spark, that which is called the Christ, a Spark which is kindled only as man seeks for It and learns to turn within to find it.

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.
