Attain That Mind (3/4)

It may, for a moment, appear that we have discovered a simple secret of life, easily practiced—but do not deceive yourself. True, this is a simple, though deep, secret of life: in fact, all spiritual living and healing is based upon it. But the ability to attain this consciousness comes only with constant and steadfast practice; the continuous abiding in the knowledge that we must not accept appearances; that we must reject consciously every concept of God, of man, of things; and that we must patiently “be still” until God reveals through our higher consciousness that which is Truth—the Truth about God, man, and the universe. This is the means of developing that spiritual consciousness which alone is the healing power, and also is the gift of spiritual knowing and living. Continue reading Attain That Mind (3/4)

Attain that Mind (2/4)

Whenever you turn to God for guidance, wisdom, healing, ask yourself first if you are not expecting your good of some new idea or concept of God, rather than God Itself. Inevitably this leads to the question, “If all I have thought of as Truth, or God, is but my ideas of God or concepts of Reality, what then is God?” And in that moment of Silence, while awaiting the answer, the first tiny glimpse of His Being is revealed to you within yourself. Remember that it is only as you come to where you have no more concepts of God, no more thoughts or ideas of God, that God Itself reveals Itself. Continue reading Attain that Mind (2/4)

Meditation is the avenue of contact. Meditation may be long and in silence, or it may be one moment of the listening ear, or recognition of the inner Self, or Presence. That which imparts Itself to us from the inner consciousness is power—not the thoughts we think, not our statements or beliefs, but That which reveals Itself within, is power—with signs following. That which is revealed in secret (within) is shouted from the housetops (made visibly evident as demonstration). Continue reading Attain That Mind (1/4)

Starting The Contemplative Life (3/5)

Always must be the remembrance, then, that what God is doing, God is doing – and needs not your help, and cannot be controlled by you. God’s grace can’t be stopped. Even if you think that you are in disobedience to His laws, God’s grace is still flowing. You may not get the benefit of it because you have cut yourself off from it.

Starting The Contemplative Life (2/5)

The Kingdom of God is a Spirit, not a super human being, but a Spirit! And this step constitutes the very first step in attaining spiritual Light. It is the very first step in attaining an awareness of the presence of God because if you cannot accept this, then you would have to say, “Well, only Jews can have the presence of God,” or “Only Baptists can have the presence of God,” or “Only Buddhists can have the presence of God.” But this is nonsense. The presence of God is within you . . . whoever the “you” may be. Continue reading Starting The Contemplative Life (2/5)

The Last Enemy (1/5)

Everyone is interested in the subject of immortality – immortality here and now, in this body, not merely an immortality to be attained after death. It is in this very body that immortality must be experienced – this very body which we are now using as our instrument. We shall not lose our body, but we will lose our false sense of body and come into the realization of the true nature of body. Continue reading The Last Enemy (1/5)
